Xpra: Ticket #1181: PyGIWarning: Gst was imported without specifying a version first

When starting an Xpra server, I see the following warning:

sys:1: PyGIWarning: Gst was imported without specifying a version first. Use gi.require_version('Gst', '1.0') before import to ensure that the right version gets loaded.

The only location where we import the gstreamer 1.x bindings (aka "Gst") in the whole source tree is found here: browser/xpra/tags/v0.17.x/src/xpra/sound/gstreamer_util.py and looks like this:

    import gi
    log("import_gst1() gi=%s", gi)
    gi.require_version('Gst', '1.0')
    from gi.repository import Gst           #@UnresolvedImport
    log("import_gst1() Gst=%s", Gst)

And I have never seen this warning since the require_version line has been added a long time ago.

What distro and version are you running on? Maybe you want to run with -d sound,gstreamer or even -d all to find out where this is happening.

Full Xpra output


I would need the debug output to figure out when this is firing. Or better yet, you can just run xpra/sound/gstreamer_util.py -v, it will probably fire the warning and show that it is bogus. Maybe a rawhide bug.


BTW, for a cleaner server startup:

Sat, 23 Apr 2016 03:14:42 GMT - Antoine Martin: status changed; resolution set

Closing as invalid: this warning is bogus, it shows up straight after import_gst1 which does the required version call. Also it doesn't fire on any other distro, and they all have the same checks - which is why that check is there in the first place.
