(EDIT: this was originally filed against python-pyglet)

gstreamer codec needs the full gi module from python-gobject:

$ python -c "import pyglet.info; pyglet.info.dump_ffmpeg()
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/pyglet/info.py", line 180, in dump_ffmpeg
import pyglet.media
File "/usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/pyglet/media/__init__.py", line 145, in <module>
add_default_media_codecs()
File "/usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/pyglet/media/codecs/__init__.py", line 87, in add_default_media_codecs
from . import gstreamer

gi.require_version('Gst', '1.0')
AttributeError: module 'gi' has no attribute 'require_version'

libibus provides only an empty gi module, that's why it can still be imported but in the end it throws
This task depends upon

Is this still an issue? Seems to work fine now:

$ python -c "import pyglet.info; pyglet.info.dump_ffmpeg()"
FFmpeg version: n5.0.1

yes, this is still an issue, I just removed the python-gobject and got this error; if I reinstall it it goes away

Ok, I can repro if libibus is installed. This smells like an ibus packaging bug (it's a split pkg). ibus depends on python-gobject but libibus does not.

To reproduce in a clean chroot:

# pacman -S python-pyglet libibus
$ python -c "import pyglet.info; pyglet.info.dump_ffmpeg()"

Moving the python-gobject dep from ibus to libibus is one possible way to solve this. I'll reassign this bug to ibus if there are no objections?

python-pyglet was moved to the AUR Apr '23 but the core problem of ibus wrong dep remains.

Version 1.5.29-1 in testing now pulls in python on systems that don't need it.

Packages that actually need ibus python bindings can instead depend on both libibus and python-gobject.

Please consider reverting.
