Import errors
While porting the base modules and running the respective tests, I have encountered the same error which was there for previous GSoC student. Basically, its the ImportError conflict since introspected and static glib/gtk bindings must not be mixed as evident by the following error:
flumotion
test
test_common_gstreamer ... [ERROR]

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 1 tests in 0.003s
FAILED (errors=1)Now, I suspect there could be two reasons for this:
- We need to port all the modules before testing
- Twisted 12 is not compatible with gi
I am looking into this issue right now. Previous student’s blog posts suggest some ideas but those seem unclear/wrong.
