Re: [Gtkpod-devel] libgpod python3 bindings?

Paul,

Thanks for the response.  That's sort of what I expected.  I also used 
gtkpod more heavily some years ago, but was recently trying to recompile 
everything on my PC with gcc-10.  Hopefully someone who still uses it 
regularly will step up.  As the program still works, even this issue 
won't be critical for quite a while, depending on which Distro someone uses.
