ImportError: cannot import name Eog, introspection typelib not found












1















I am trying to get the eye of the gnome plugin demo working from here. I have installed the dependencies, but on the line from gi.repository import GObject, Eog, Eog cannot be found.
If I go to the gi.repository directory with : ls /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gi/overrides/, I can see:



Dee.py                 GObject.py  Gio.py   Pango.py     __pycache__
GIMarshallingTests.py Gdk.py Gtk.py Unity.py keysyms.py
GLib.py Gedit.py IBus.py __init__.py


But no Eog.py. What package will install this file?



Thanks.

I'm not sure, but it seems that path of Eog-3.0.typelib on 18.04 LTS was wrong.



So I created symbolic link to move it one level higher:



sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/eog/girepository-1.0/Eog-3.0.typelib /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/girepository-1.0/Eog-3.0.typelib


And then I can run python3 -c "from gi.repository import Eog".





Also I have found "fallback" method.



We can install eog-plugin-python-console and use it as development console:



sudo apt install eog-plugin-python-console


Then enable it in Eye of GNOME Preferences → Plugins and launch from menu by clicking on Python Console:



Python Console inside Eog



I think that you can get the source code of actual Eog plugins with apt-get source eog-plugins and then try to read and/or change it.
