Introspection bindings do not export any methods

[Matt Fischer]

I was trying to write a basic greeter, following the example code when I ran into some issues. I then started doing introspection and it seems to show that the python bindings for objects are no longer exporting any methods:

>>> g = LightDM.Greeter()
>>> dir(g)
['__class__', '__delattr__', '__dict__', '__doc__', '__eq__', '__format__', '__ge__', '__getattribute__', '__gt__', '__gtype__', '__hash__', '__info__', '__init__', '__le__', '__lt__', '__module__', '__ne__', '__new__', '__reduce__', '__reduce_ex__', '__repr__', '__setattr__', '__sizeof__', '__str__', '__subclasshook__', '__weakref__', 'parent_instance']

The *Class() objects still show some methods on the other hand:

>>> dir(LightDM.GreeterClass)
['__class__', '__delattr__', '__dict__', '__doc__', '__eq__', '__format__', '__ge__', '__getattribute__', '__gt__', '__gtype__', '__hash__', '__info__', '__init__', '__le__', '__lt__', '__module__', '__ne__', '__new__', '__reduce__', '__reduce_ex__', '__repr__', '__setattr__', '__sizeof__', '__str__', '__subclasshook__', '__weakref__', 'authentication_complete', 'autologin_timer_expired', 'parent_class', 'reserved1', 'reserved2', 'reserved3', 'reserved4', 'reserved5', 'reserved6', 'show_message', 'show_prompt']

This pattern repeats for Session/SessionClass, Language/LanguageClass, etc. (I did not check them all).

Fixed in master

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package lightdm - 1.1.2-0ubuntu1

---------------
lightdm (1.1.2-0ubuntu1) precise; urgency=low

  * New upstream release:
    - Add regression tests for getting the user language and layout
    - Stop accidentally distributing libsystem
    - Fix introspection bindings not containing any methods (LP: #920810)
    - lightdm-set-defaults can now set the autologin user
    - Add Python greeter regression tests (representative of all introspection
      based greeters)
    - Wait for the VT to become active when switching to avoid a suspected
      race condition somewhere between LightDM, X, ConsoleKit and the kernel.
      (LP: #851612)
    - Stop lightdm_greeter_start_session_sync() blocking on success.
  * debian/lightdm.prerm:
    - Fix incorrect location of lightdm binary (found by Rolf Anders)
