Hi Colomban,

I'm pretty sure I met that very same issue the last time I built
gobject-introspection (1.48.something). The official doc [1] says
it is still python2 based, so I supposed things did not change.

Anyway, at least according to meson.build [2], python 3 is now
supported, so I stand corrected.

Ciao.

GI works fine with Python 3 here, at version 1.50.0 as well (Debian 9
here).  So I guess it's either that upstream GI doesn't support Python3
and Debian has a patch, or that the OP's version is incorrectly
installing a Python2 GI version in Python3's directories.

Anyway, it looks like the OP's distro is messed up for installing a
Python2 module in Python3's libraries.  Or maybe it's a leftover from a
manual installation?

And for more details on @Nicola's answer: the issue is that in Python
3.x 'print' became a function so has to be used with the syntax
'print(...)', while in Python2 it was a keyword that could be used like
'print ...' (i.e. without parentheses around what to print).  The issue
you see is that use of the Python2 syntax with Python3.

Regards,
Colomban

Hi,

gobject-introspection is Python2 based.

Ciao.

I'm baffled by how you think anyone can do anything with such a vague
report. What exactly happened when you tried to run those programs? What
specific problem did the developers describe? Where is the link to the
place where they did so?
