As per summary, trying to load any Python plugin in any app that uses libpeas for its plugins fails in current F16: (totem:19812): libpeas-WARNING **: Error initializing Python interpreter: could not import gi you get that error from totem, gedit and rhythmbox, I tested each one. I suspect the fix for this may be to bump to libpeas 1.1.2 with its pygobject3 dependency and adjust all libpeas client apps as well, but I didn't want to go ahead and do that myself in case it's too great a change and/or just wrong. I kinda suspect this upstream commit may also have something to do with it: http://git.gnome.org/browse/libpeas/commit/?id=0cee06c36977991d70ad627ceb3c40430b9dfcf9 "Adapt to and require gjs 1.29.16 gjs-gi was merged in gjs, so update the build system as well as path to headers." and that one seems kinda orthogonal to the pygobject3 change.
note that I did commit a libpeas bump to the master branch in git before totally grokking the consequences of such a change, but didn't get a build through for f17 or f16, so both still currently have libpeas 1.1.1 built against pygobject2.
CCing J5 as Bastien is away for a bit.
From #719791, Michel Salim: "pygobject3 has been released upstream, and the Fedora review has just been completed. pygobject2 on Rawhide has had its introspection support disabled, since that is now provided by pygobject3; packages depending on introspection would need to be updated to depend on pygobject3 on F-16 and above." sounds like the root cause for this, right? So I seem to be right in supposing we need to go to libpeas 1.1.2 and rebuild stuff against pygobject3.
Can't update it until pygobject3 is in stable (Bodhi doesn't allow me to create a buildroot override as it says: "Error: You do not have commit privileges to pygobject3", even though I'm a proven packager).
that's considered a bug in Bodhi, for now you can get it tagged manually if you ask dgilmore. anyway, i've +1ed the update so it triggered the autopush.
pygobject3 has made it out in the wild now.
the giganto-gnome update has a fixed libpeas in it, i believe, so you could edit the update and mark it as fixing this bug, or we can just close this bug when the update goes through.
This should be fixed now.
