Hi, folks. I'm helping dmalcolm with the Python 2.7 rebuild at the moment. gnome-python2-desktop is failing to build for reasons which have nothing to do with Python 2.7 and everything to do with GTK+ 3 and GNOME 3.
It has modules for Brasero and Evince, both of which have now been ported to GTK+ 3. Trying to build gnome-python2-desktop with these modules enabled fails due to various changes between GTK+2 and GTK+3. g-p2-d also has gnome media profiles support: gnome-media-profiles has also been made into a new gnome-media-profiles-3.0 version which requires GTK+3 according to its pkgconfig file, so I suspect gnome-python2-desktop will need adjusting for that too.
For now I'm going to send David a build with the Brasero and Evince modules disabled and the gnome-media-profiles support also disabled. This will break a couple of apps - pybackpack and sugar-read - but that's presumably preferable to having gnome-python2-desktop broken entirely (and hence also gnome-applets). Obviously, though, this should be fixed properly - upstream, of course.
