            Bug ID: 12286
           Summary: Can't import gobject in python 3.8
           Product: buildroot
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: Other
          Assignee: unassigned at buildroot.uclibc.org
          Reporter: grzegorz at blach.pl
                CC: buildroot at uclibc.org
  Target Milestone: ---

This appears to be a similar problem to libselinux:

>>> import gobject
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/gobject/__init__.py", line 26, in
<module>
  File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/glib/__init__.py", line 22, in
<module>
SystemError: initialization of _glib raised unreported exception

Unfortunately, the version of python-gobject we use is very old, because it was
I guess the latest version that doesn't need gobject-introspection.

The same issue was reported to Arch Linux
(https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/64541), and they simply removed their
python-gobject2 package.

So I think for now, we should disallow our python-gobject package with Python
3.x, until we merge the gobject-introspection support, which will allow us to
update to a newer version of python-gobject.

As Python2 support ends in less than 2 months, just disabling it on Python3
won't really help as there should be no new software anymore that still uses
Python2.
What's the state of the introspection code?

I have a patch series here:
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/buildroot/list/?series=137614

There are currently issues with patch 4/5 which causes libglib2 to not
build properly
if python3 isn't built yet for the target. There are suggestions on
how to fix the issue,
however, I do not have the time to implement the changes.

Other than that issue, I personally use gobject-introspection in my
current projects and
it works quite well! Any feedback would be appreciated!

"Fixed" by commit 4a392d1678 which excludes python-gobject for python3.
