** Description changed:

  The next version of ubuntu will switch to gnome3.
  
- According to synaptic backintime-gnome seems to be using pygtk. And according 
to http://blog.rabbitvcs.org/archives/293 pygtk will never be ported to gnome3. 
He normally is very well-informed as he is the maintainer of nautilus-python 
and rabbitvcs.

  http://www.pygtk.org/ does approve that pygtk will no more be actively 
develop but does not tell about it being not supported at all in gnome3: 
"Existing authors of PyGTK applications are also recommended to port their 
applications to PyGObject to take advantage of new features appearing in GTK-3 
and beyond." so I don't know if porting is immediately necessary or if it will 
be in the far future.
  
- Seems like the successor of pygtk is http://live.gnome.org/PyGObject.
- The good news is that according to
- http://live.gnome.org/PyGObject/IntrospectionPorting (you have to scroll
- down a bit about to find any valid information on porting) porting seems
- to be doable, at least.

[Bug 789452] Re: Missing gnome3 support (transition from pygth to python-gobject necessary?)

2011-05-28 Thread PeterPall 
Did try to convert the application.
Most of the gtk functions seem not ho have changed their name. But the gnome.* 
and vfs.* functions have. The latter seem to have moved to Gio. But I cannot 
find 
mime_type = gnomevfs.get_mime_type( gnomevfs.escape_path_string( path ) 
)
and
gnome_props = { gnome.PARAM_APP_DATADIR : '/usr/share' }
gnome.program_init( 'backintime', cfg.VERSION, properties = gnome_props )
anywhere.
