test.py

Trying to import glib2reactor in python3 fails with the below error. Try with the attached test.py, which should just print on the console "Bye", instead of error. 

> $ /usr/bin/python3 ./test.py 
> Traceback (most recent call last):
>   File "./test.py", line 3, in <module>
>     from twisted.internet import glib2reactor
>   File "/usr/lib64/python3.7/site-packages/twisted/internet/glib2reactor.py", line 19, in <module>
>     from twisted.internet import gtk2reactor
>   File "/usr/lib64/python3.7/site-packages/twisted/internet/gtk2reactor.py", line 45, in <module>
>     import gobject
> ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'gobject'

Running it with python2 works as expected:
> $ /usr/bin/python2 ./test.py 
> Bye

According to [1], you might change "import gobject" with something else. Depending on the effort, either with ".... as gobject", or do all the related renames.

Tested with:
python2-twisted-19.2.0-1.fc30.x86_64
python3-twisted-19.2.0-1.fc30.x86_64

You probably know that, but in case you might find it useful, here's something "portable":

try:
    import gobject
except ImportError:
    from gi.repository import GObject as gobject

(which I found in the project I spotted this with).

Comment 4 Milan Crha 2019-05-23 13:35:17 UTC
Thanks. I see they suggest to use 'gireactor', instead of 'gtk2reactor'. I agree with the rationale about gtk2 being too old and possibly not shipped. They also claim "Possibly this module should be removed entirely", I'm not sure whether they mean the "gtk2reactor" or the "twisted" module with that "this". I hope they mean the former.

Comment 5 Miro Hrončok 2019-05-23 13:52:48 UTC
they mean the "gtk2reactor" module

> they mean the "gtk2reactor" module

Okay, that sounds good.

I'm sorry for a lame question, though I've basically no idea of python, the less of the 'twisted' or 'gtk2reactor'... Does anybody know whether anywhere exists a porting guide from gtk2reactor to gireactor?

Comment 8 Milan Crha 2019-05-23 19:19:50 UTC
> ...from gtk2reactor to gireactor?

Oops, "from glib2reactor to gireactor".
