[Gramps-devel] GTK 3 Errors

[Benny M. <ben...@gm...>]

Jerome,

About your errors in
http://www.gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=Talk:GEPS_029:_GTK3-GObject_introspection_Conversion

You can fix most yourself:

NameError: global name 'GObject' is not defined

Add at import section of the file:

from gi.repository import GObject

TypeError: pack_start() takes exactly 5 arguments (3 given)

Common error, pack_start is now sig
pack_start(gtkobj, expandval, fillval, paddingval)

So pass True for expandval and fillval, and 0 for paddingval, so the error

self.glade.get_object('vbox').pack_start(notebook, True)

Should be

self.glade.get_object('vbox').pack_start(notebook, True, True, 0)

The most problematic to me are the decoding errors. As you see

  File "geps029/share/gramps/gen/ggettext.py", line 48, in gettext
    return unicode(pgettext.gettext(msgid))
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 2:

As written in the GEP page, unicode now by default uses ascii. I have no
idea why. I fixed most of these things by adding the UTF-8 encoding as
option

unicode(pgettext.gettext(msgid), 'UTF-8')

But I'm afraid there must be a more basic reason for these errors. As a
workaround it should work.
