Installing a plugin depending on thunarx-python, i.e., rabbitvcs-thunar, causes
thunar execution to fail, see bug #958088. The cause of the failure of this
plugin is rightly attributed to thunarx-plugin somehow not compiling correctly
for Python3.
First off: There's no corresponding bug filed for thunarx-python and bug
#958088 has not been moved to this package. Therefore this bug is filed, so
that the cause of #958088 is highlighted.
Second: By building the code myself (on trixie, using debuild -i -us -uc -b)
the resulting shared object (thunarx-python.so), dropped in place of the
offending binary, works without issue.
Therefore my conclusion is that the upstream code _is_ capable to be compiled
with Python 3, so it presumably is an issue with the build environment.
This is made evident by the following experiment:
1) With the so installed from the Debian package
host# strings thunarx-python.so | grep lib
libthunarx-3.so.0
libgtk-3.so.0
libpython3.13.so.1.0
libgobject-2.0.so.0
libglib-2.0.so.0
libc.so.6
thunarx-python: Setting GI_TYPELIB_PATH to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-
gnu/girepository-1.0
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/girepository-1.0
thunarx-python: g_module_open /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/lib.so.1.0
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/lib.so.1.0
g_module_open libpython failed: %s
1) With the so from the self build Debian package
host# strings thunarx-python.so | grep lib
libthunarx-3.so.0
libgtk-3.so.0
libpython3.12.so.1.0
libgobject-2.0.so.0
libglib-2.0.so.0
libc.so.6
thunarx-python: Setting GI_TYPELIB_PATH to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/girepository-1.0
thunarx-python: g_module_open /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython3.12.so.1.0
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython3.12.so.1.0
g_module_open libpython failed: %s
The difference from '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/lib.so.1.0' to
'/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython3.12.so.1.0' is telling.
