Change in libphoto2 & gvfs?

[Damon Lynch <damonlynch gmail com>]

Hi everyone,

I'm have python code that accesses file systems using python's GIO static bindings, e.g.

import gio
...
children = path.enumerate_children(file_attributes)
for child in children:
    if child.get_attribute_boolean(gio.FILE_ATTRIBUTE_ACCESS_CAN_READ):

etc.

In 2009, this kind of code used to work. However today it seems that it is possible for python's GIO bindings to make a camera mount available, but it's impossible to access any files on it using GIO's own library code. Moreover, the mount doesn't show up ~/.gvfs. However browsing the same mount in Nautilus works without difficulties.

Is this a binding problem? Or has something changed in the design of GVFS? Or is something broken? If it's of any relevance, this is on Ubuntu 11.04.

Thanks for reading.

Damon
