[Bug 1198115] Re: Doesn't appear to play nicely with gi.repository

[Christopher Lee]

I've since learned that I should be using:
from gi.repository import Notify

Marked as invalid as I got it wrong.

** Changed in: notify-python (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid

Title:
  Doesn't appear to play nicely with gi.repository

Status in “notify-python” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  In a python terminal I do the following:

  >>> import pynotify;
  >>> from gi.repository import Gdk
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
    File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gi/__init__.py", line 27, in <module>
      from ._gi import _API, Repository
  ImportError: could not import gobject (error was: ImportError('When using gi.repository you must not import static modules like "gobject". Please change all occurrences of "import gobject" to "from gi.repository import GObject".',))
  >>> 

  Or in the reverse:

  >>> from gi.repository import Gdk
  >>> import pynotify
  /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gobject/constants.py:24: Warning: g_boxed_type_register_static: assertion 'g_type_from_name (name) == 0' failed
    import gobject._gobject
  /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py:40: Warning: cannot register existing type 'GdkWindow'
    from gtk import _gtk
  /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py:40: Warning: g_type_get_qdata: assertion 'node != NULL' failed
    from gtk import _gtk
  Segmentation fault (core dumped)

  I'm not sure what other details may be helpful but I'm happy to
  produce and provide anything that may be of further assistance.
