Use of deprecated pygobject imports?

[ff2000]

I have issues starting mpDris2.
import glib does not work. The new (?) and recommended way seems to be

from gi.repository import GLib

If I add " as glib" everything works.
Until I enable Bling.notify. It does not find pynotify.
Again, the same game

from gi.repository import Notify as pynotify

And here my python skills (and time ;)) ends:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/mpDris2", line 1224, in <module>
    notification = Notify(params)
  File "/usr/bin/mpDris2", line 764, in __init__
    self._notification = pynotify.Notification("", "", "")
TypeError: GObject.__init__() takes exactly 0 arguments (3 given)

It seems Notify is not backwards compatible.
I am running pygobject-3.14.0 on Gentoo.

from gi.repository import GLib

While pygobject 2.x is deprecated, it is still usable and can be installed side-by-side with pygobject 3.x (I think Gentoo calls it "slots"?)

Anyway, mpDris2-git will now use the best available version.

It seems Notify is not backwards compatible.

Yes, the custom pynotify bindings were a bit different from the real libnotify API.

I'll try to port mpDris2 away from pynotify; until then, install dev-python/py-notify.

Ported to GObject.Notify in git.

Thanks for the fixes!
I already tried py-notify, but it seems to offer yet another API for notifications. There is no pynotify import, you have to import "notify.all" or similar, according to the docs. That's why I thought it's the old way to import notify, just like "glib".
So never mind, everything is going fine now :)

Ah, it might be dev-python/notify-python in that case.
