Package: python3-gi-cairo Version: 3.22.0-1 Severity: important Tags: upstream Control: reassign -1 python3-gi-cairo,pyhton-gi-cairo
IMO this package is unusable, to the extent that I considered making the severity "grave" rather than "important". I say the API is unavailable because bindings for many important functions, constants etc are either unimplemented or non-deducible and undocumented (help(cairo) makes it look as if #640846 has returned with a vengeance). For example, I want to use cairo_image_surface_create_for_data(). This doesn't seem to exist in python-gi. The similar function, cairo_image_surface_create() can be found to exist with dir(cairo) but, even if I did want to use that instead, I wouldn't be much better off because I can't find any mapping for cairo_format_t, and cairo.image_surface_create.get_arguments() returns an empty tuple. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.7.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages python3-gi-cairo depends on: ii libc6 2.24-3 ii libcairo-gobject2 1.14.6-1+b1 ii libcairo2 1.14.6-1+b1 ii libgirepository-1.0-1 1.50.0-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.50.0-2 ii python3 3.5.1-4 ii python3-cairo 1.10.0+dfsg-5+b1 ii python3-gi 3.22.0-1 python3-gi-cairo recommends no packages. python3-gi-cairo suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
