Cannot Import GST in Python

Question

I\'m in a quandary. I\'m following the following tutorial (specifically, 6.4.2)

I\'m running

Answer 1

This is because you are using Python 2.7, and the GST default is 2.6. This is really easy to fix:

Go to C:\Program Files\OSSBuild\GStreamer\v0.10.6\sdk\bindings\python\v2.7\lib

and copy

gstreamer-0.10 and site-packages to

C:\Program Files\OSSBuild\GStreamer\v0.10.6\lib, replacing any existing files.

Then delete the file C:\Program Files\OSSBuild\GStreamer\v0.10.6\lib\gstreamer-0.10\libgstpython-v2.6.dll (or change the extension to .dllx or something).

Now it should work.

Alternatively to changing GST to suit Python 2.7, you could just use Python 2.6.

EDIT: After attempting to install Gstreamer on a new computer, I found that I could not import pygst until I removed the extra backslash from C:\Program Files\OSSBuild\Gstreamer\v0.10.7\lib\site-packages\ in PYTHONPATH. I believe this may have been your problem all the way along.
