New issue 1690 by [email protected]: get_surrounding_text() can't be
called with NULL arguments from python-gi
http://code.google.com/p/ibus/issues/detail?id=1690
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
OS (Linux distributions, UNIX or ...): ArchLinux
Architecture (i386, x86_64): x86_64
IBus version: 1.5
Python version: 3
I'm writing an input method using Python's GObject Introspection binding.
My input method makes use of get_surrounding_text() but the docs [1] said
that I should tell input contexts that I will use surrounding text by
calling get_surrounding_text() with cursor_pos and anchor_pos, which are
[out] parameters, set to NULL.
The problem is that python-gi hides [out] parameters from the user and will
return them wrapped in a tuple when the call returns. Hence the issue in
the summary.
IMHO, surrounding text should be available all the time. And even if I had
to register to use it, I would prefer to call a dedicated method like
set_use_surrounding_text() rather than recycle get_surrounding_text().
