The open_uri_list warning is a left-over from the GnomeVFS->GIO
migration which happened for 2.24. We seem to have forgotten to update
the Python bindings then, so there are probably more functions not
working. I hopefully find the time to look at it again in time for 2.26.
The right binding would be, as you already guessed, open_file_list. The
bindings generator is unfortunately not picking it up directly atm,
probably due to GIO. Have to check if PyGTK has catched up with the
necessary GIO-support yet (my distro still only offers 2.13.0).

For the other one, the bindings generator spits out a warning:
"Could not write method EogListStore.get_image_by_pos: No ArgType for
const-gint"
So the function is not wrapped right now. Need to investigate that one.

As you can see, eog's Python bindings are generally a bit buggy. ;-)
