I get an error
Couldn't find conversion for foreign struct 'cairo.Context' in <module 'threading' from '/usr/lib.python2.7/threading.pyx'> ignored
All the research I've done online suggests that there is a missing package python-gi-cairo, or python-gobject.
I've installed all of these dependencies yet still receive the message. I've made sure that I had python-gi-cairo, python3-gi-cairo, python-gobject, libcairo-gobject2, etc, installed. Other bindings have been working just fine for me until I started to try to use the Gtk.DrawingArea.
Here's the code:
from gi.repository import Gtk, Gdk
class MyExample(object):
def __init__(self, user_data=None):
window = Gtk.Window()
window.connect("destroy", Gtk.main_quit)
drawing_area = Gtk.DrawingArea()
drawing_area.set_size_request(300,300)
drawing_area.connect('draw',self.expose)
window.add(drawing_area)
window.show_all()
def expose(self,widget,cr,data):
print ("self_exposed")
# ===
if __name__ == "__main__":
app = MyExample()
Gtk.main()
I get the same error running this with python2 and python3. If i open up a Python shell and type "import cairo", there are no errors. I can't find any information about this on the internet that I haven't already read. Any ideas?
I'm running Ubuntu 13.10. I've updated apt-get, removed and reinstalled python-gi-cairo, etc.
