Fixing things:
pacman -R mingw-w64-x86_64-python2-gobject
pacman -Su Packages (5) mingw-w64-x86_64-gobject-introspection-runtime-1.64.1-2 mingw-w64-x86_64-pygobject-devel-3.34.0-3 [removal] mingw-w64-x86_64-pygobject2-devel-2.28.7-3 mingw-w64-x86_64-python-gobject-3.36.1-1 mingw-w64-x86_64-python2-gobject2-2.28.7-3
I've backed up mingw-w64-x86_64-pygobject-devel
in case we need it again. I remember lazka saying something about the new python3 headers still being usable with python2 (can't find the message), but for how long?
Now the python3 builds work, but the python2 builds still don't:
$ python2 -c "import gi" Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> File "C:\msys64\mingw64\lib\python2.7\site-packages/gi/__init__.py", line 42, in <module> ImportError: cannot import name _gi
Trying to rebuild python2-pygobject
fails:
cd mingw-w64-python2-pygobject/ $ makepkg -sCLf ==> Making package: mingw-w64-python2-pygobject 3.34.0-4 (Tue, May 26, 2020 5:24:31 AM) ==> Checking runtime dependencies... ==> Checking buildtime dependencies... ==> Retrieving sources... -> Found pygobject-3.34.0.tar.xz ==> Validating source files with sha256sums... pygobject-3.34.0.tar.xz ... Passed ==> Removing existing $srcdir/ directory... ==> Extracting sources... -> Extracting pygobject-3.34.0.tar.xz with bsdtar ==> Starting prepare()... tee: standard input: Invalid argument ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in prepare(). Aborting...
So I ended up rebuilding it by hand... Worked OK on the 32-bit build system!?
Works OK now. (tested 4.0.2 and 3.0.10 - both with python2 and python3)

this ticket has been moved to: https://github.com/Xpra-org/xpra/issues/2777
Note: See
TracTickets for help on using
tickets.
So, MSYS2 is gradually moving away from python2, the problem with gobject is this:
So I've been updating this build system using
--ignore="*gobject*"
.The problem is that
libffi-6.dll
is now gone, and so the older gi bindings don't work anymore.Here's the upstream bug: Import Error with PyGObject.
