Bug 361781 – dev-python/pycairo-1.8.10: Broken cairo.version_info

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Sebastian 'seezer' Goth 2011-04-03 11:33:31 UTC]

There is a (already fixed) bug in pycairo that breaks wxpython.

pycairo reports it's own version as (1,10,8) where (1,8,10) would be correct.
That breaks tests in /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/wx-2.8-gtk2-unicode/wx/lib/wxcairo.py line 330.

See the original bugreport on pycairo:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31653

Fix is already in cairo's git:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/py2cairo/patch/?id=3953265c398ccbd600b4d788f7c8f9a8e0e644a2

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Try to call wxpython's ContextFromDC()
