Without introspection USE flag, the typelib file is missing (/usr/lib64/girepository-1.0/GExiv2-0.4.typelib) and the module can't be imported: >>> from gi.repository import GExiv2 ERROR:root:Could not

*** Bug 508358 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I can confirm this problem. Please check out Bug 527204 it has an ebuild for a newer version of gexiv2 and should force introspection USE-flag when python USE-flag is active - therefore fixing this bug?
Should be fixed in version 0.10.2, please test. *gexiv2-0.10.2 (18 Jan 2015) 18 Jan 2015; Markus Meier <maekke@gentoo.org> +gexiv2-0.10.2.ebuild: version bump for bug #527204: depend dev-libs/gobject-introspection for bug #469202, add subslot operator dep for media-gfx/exiv2 for bug #536944, make python support optional, update HOMEPAGE
As I reported in Bug 508358, I added the ebuild mentioned in comment 3 here, removed the introspection use flag, compiled it, and I still get the errors when running macrofusion: ERROR:root:Could not find any typelib for GExiv2 An error occured. Python or one of its sub modules is absent... It would be wise to check your python installation.
media-libs/gexiv2-0.10.2 working correctly for me, python USE forces introspection USE and I can import it.
