Fetching a contacts avatar with get_avatar_file(), I get: TypeError: metaclass conflict: the metaclass of a derived class must be a (non-strict) subclass of the metaclasses of all its bases ** ERROR:pygobject.c:929:pygobject_new_full: assertion failed: (tp != NULL) and the whole process dies. I have in my factory Tp.ContactFeature.AVATAR_DATA, and get the token just fine. Am I missing something here? Must I listen for notify::avatar-file or do something else before trying to fetch that property? This happens with gabble; with haze I get None for all avatars. _______________________________________________ telepathy mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/telepathy
