Details

Description:
python-gobject2 does not work anymore. I suppose it is due to Python 3.8.

Additional info:
* python-gobject2 2.28.7-3
* Python 3.8.0

Steps to reproduce:
$ python
Python 3.8.0 (default, Oct 23 2019, 18:51:26)
[GCC 9.2.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import gobject
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/gobject/__init__.py", line 26, in <module>
from glib import spawn_async, idle_add, timeout_add, timeout_add_seconds, \
File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/glib/__init__.py", line 22, in <module>
from glib._glib import *
SystemError: initialization of _glib raised unreported exception

As this library is deprecated, (Description : Python bindings for GObject (legacy)), I switched from
import gobject
to
from gi.repository import GLib

Removed python-gobject2, since we have no hard deps on it anymore. For Python 3, please use python-gobject.
