'SharedModel' object has no attribute 'append' using Python 3 on 12.04

[Thomas Mashos]

[Test Case]

1. Start python3
2. from gi.repository import Dee
   -> Make sure that SharedModel has the append() function available

[Regression Potential]

No obvious regression potential, in worst case some problems with python 2 introspection.

Original description:

A Unity scope written in Python 3 on 12.04 gets the following error message when attempting to search

'SharedModel' object has no attribute 'append'

The same code works fine on 12.10. Similar code worked fine in 12.04 using Python 2 (before I ported it to Python 3). The code portions in question are the same between the Python 2 and Python 3 versions.

The scope I'm working on is here

Installing both git1.2-dee-1.0 and libdee-1.0-4 from 12.10 resolves the issue. Installing just libdee-1.0-4 from 12.10 didn't resolve the issue, although I didn't test just installing the other package.

[Thomas Mashos (tgm4883)]

Confirmed that a fully updated 12.04 install with the following package versions has this issue.

libdee-1.0-4 1.0.10-0ubuntu1
gir1.2-dee-1.0 1.0.10-0ubuntu1

and that installing the following package versions from 12.10 resolves the issue. gir1.2-dee-1.0 cannot be upgraded unless libdee-1.0-4 is upgraded first.

libdee-1.0-4 1.0.14-0ubuntu1
gir1.2-dee-1.0 1.0.14-0ubuntu1

So, indeed the precise dee packages do not have the fix for this issue - but I'll be working on back-porting it to the precise packaging and sending it to the SRU team for release. Please be patient!

[Thomas Mashos (tgm4883)]

Will do. Thanks Łukasz

Hello Thomas, or anyone else affected,

Accepted dee into precise-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dee/1.0.10-0ubuntu1.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Seems to be fixed after update, append() appeared after updating the dee from precise-proposed.

[Colin Watson (cjwatson)]

The verification of this Stable Release Update has completed successfully and the package has now been released to -updates.
