Public bug reported: GLib.ThreadPool is not usuable in PyGObject as there is no way to set the function used with the threads:
Unlike documented in the GLib Reference Manual the constructor doesn't take any arguments: >>> from gi.repository import GLib >>> pool = GLib.ThreadPool(lambda *args: id(0), -1 , False) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: function takes at most 0 arguments (3 given) GLib.ThreadPool has a variable 'func' but reading it results in an error: >>> pool = GLib.ThreadPool() >>> pool.func ** (process:11679): WARNING **: Field func: Interface type 2 should have is_pointer set Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> RuntimeError: unable to get the value Setting it crashes the application: >>> pool.func = lambda *args: id(0) ** ERROR:/build/buildd/pygobject-3.2.2/gi/pygi-argument.c:1029:_pygi_argument_from_object: code should not be reached [1] 11679 abort (core dumped) python ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: python-gi 3.2.2-1~precise ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-27.43-generic-pae 3.2.21 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-27-generic-pae i686 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia ApportVersion: 2.0.1-0ubuntu11 Architecture: i386 Date: Mon Aug 6 21:14:15 2012 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.10 "Oneiric Ocelot" - Release i386 (20111012) SourcePackage: pygobject UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to precise on 2012-04-04 (123 days ago) ** Affects: pygobject (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-bug i386 precise running-unity -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to pygobject in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1033630 Title: GLib.ThreadPool is not usuable in PyGObject To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pygobject/+bug/1033630/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
