Hi, Thanks for the pointers! My current system reports
(Gtk.get_major_version(), Gtk.get_minor_version(), Gtk.get_micro_version()) 3.4.2 GObject.pygobject_version: (3, 2, 2) GObject._version: 2.0 What is GObject._version: 2.0 referring to? At the moment I don't want to drive logic based on the version numbers but put some useful infromation into a programs 'About' box in order to diagnose issues like the one I inquired about separately regarding GFileInfo.get_modification_time() Thanks!
