Under Python 2 text gets passed to Python as is (utf-8 encoded) while under Python 3 things get decoded to unicode code points. I suspect there is some invalid utf-8 involved which you should see in data getting passed to do_g_properties_changed under py2. I've tested your code (with adjusting the device path) and it seems to work fine under py3 here. _______________________________________________ python-hackers-list mailing list python-hackers-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/python-hackers-list
