Description of problem: libgpod comes with a python module. ./configure --with-python or --enable-python (i forget which) will compile a gpod.py module and place it in /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ This module is missing from the current libgpod package. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rpmlibgpod-0.3.0-2.2.src.rpm How reproducible: Open python and import gpod. This will give you a module not found error Steps to Reproduce: 1. Type python 2. type import gpod Actual results: [jason@pine ~]$ python Python 2.4.3 (#1, Jun 13 2006, 11:46:08) [GCC 4.1.1 20060525 (Red Hat 4.1.1-1)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import gpod Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?

Created attachment 134613 [details] .spec with included python bindings This .spec (Extras-style) bumps the release to 0.3.2 and includes the Python bindings. There are some projects that I'd like to include in Extras, but can't because it's an older version and because it doesn't include python. This also fixes the "no running ldconfig after installing an .so" bug.
This effects fe6 packages now as well as fc5 packages. In particular the listen application could make use of the python binding to get ipod access. Is there any particular reason why this package is lingering in an un updated state? Please pretty please, can we have a status update with regard to the hold-up with either updating libgpod to the latest version.. or at the very least enabling the python bindings in the currently available fedora core version. Is this just a matter of maintainer not having the cycles to deal with this.. or is there a technical issue I am not aware of that's preventing movement? -jef
libgpod was only packaged because it became an optional rhythmbox dependency a while ago. For that, we didn't need the python bindings. If there are other apps which need python bindings for libgpod, we should probably put them in a subpackage.
The python module is now available as python-gpod in extras-development. If/when libgpod is updated to 0.4.0 or greater in FC[56], the python-gpod package will get built for FC[56] as well. If you can poke at the package in development and report any issues there it would be much appreciated. BZ #211648 has more discussion on getting libgpod updated.
python-gpod-0.4.2 is now available for FC6 (in Extras). Please try it out and report any bugs found against the python-gpod component in bugzilla.
