I am the maintainer of libdmapsharing, a GObject-based library. I am just now getting around to adjusting the library's API to better suit GObject introspection. I am not sure how to process on two things having to do with object properties. One of my interfaces, the DAAPRecord, has among its properties two items: hash, a GLib2 ByteArray/g_param_spec_pointer and mediakind, a g_param_spec_enum. I am trying to implement an object of this interface in Python, but I am not sure how to proceed with either of these properties. (As I mentioned, I am willing to modify the libdmapsharing interface to facilitate this if necessary.) I am not sure how to best handle hash. Should I create a box type? It seems like the should be a straightforward approach to handle a ByteArray.
Can you provide a link to the code in question, and a copy of the relevant bit of the generated GIR file? My first guess would be that you are right, and it should be a boxed type. See the GTlsCertificate:certificate property for an example. https://git.gnome.org/browse/glib/tree/gio/gtlscertificate.c#n106
For mediakind, I get a warning if I try this:
class PyDAAPRecord((GObject.GObject, DAAP.Record, DMAP.Record):
# ...
mediakind = GObject.property(type=GObject.TYPE_INT,
default=0)
*snip* That looks like more of a Python thing, which I can’t help with, sorry. Philip
