Status in py3cairo package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Kazam Screen caster, written in Python3, is using Cairo for doing graphics. Now, I've run into this: File "../kazam/frontend/window_countdown.py", line 181, in createDropShadow surface = cairo.ImageSurface.create_for_data(data, format, width, height) NotImplementedError: Surface.create_for_data: Not Implemented yet. It appears that Surface.create_for_data isn't implemented. After inspecting the weird code in the original tar.gz I confirmed this: static PyObject * image_surface_create_for_data (PyTypeObject *type, PyObject *args) { cairo_surface_t *surface; cairo_format_t format; unsigned char *buffer; int width, height, stride = -1, res; Py_ssize_t buffer_len; PyObject *obj; // buffer function disabled PyErr_SetString(PyExc_NotImplementedError, "Surface.create_for_data: Not Implemented yet."); return NULL; /* By BigW: Everything past here is dead code */ if (!PyArg_ParseTuple(args, "Oiii|i:Surface.create_for_data", &obj, &format, &width, &height, &stride)) return NULL; However, after checking couple of other repositories with pycairo, create_for_data() function is different, without the weird return call. I've checked: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/pycairo/ git://git.cairographics.org/git/pycairo Can this patch from 2011 be included in Ubuntu? http://lists.cairographics.org/archives/cairo/2011-December/022563.html And why am I the first one running into this? :) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/py3cairo/+bug/1330228/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
