Package: pyhoca-gui
Version: 0.5.0.5-0x2go1+git20160128.1329+jessie.main.1
Dear maintainers,
I believe commit e44e848415eff3e4dab69e990adfc447e79143f8 which introduced
GTK3 notification support broke GTK2 notification support fallback. The
problem was not present in 0.5.0.4
I believe the problem lies in this import construct in
pyhoca/wxgui/notify.py which will fail the same way even when put alone in
a file
try:
from gi.repository import Notify as _Notify
except ImportError:
import pynotify as _Notify
I think the problem is that even if the GTK3 Notify module is not
available, many GTK3 libraries get loaded and then the pynotify import
fails with
ImportError: could not import gobject (could not find _PyGObject_API object)
This is the same exception I see when running pyhoca-gui.
I think some more sophisticated GTK version selection mechanism is needed,
one that would not start loading conflicting libraries.
As a workaround for now I just removed that GTK3 import on my system.
My system is Debian 8.3 Jessie with the following (possibly relevant) gtk
packages installed
dpkg -l | grep '^.i.*gtk[23].*'
