    class Test2(Test):
  File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/gtk-2.0/gobject/__init__.py", line 40, in __init__
    cls._install_properties()
  File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/gtk-2.0/gobject/__init__.py", line 68, in _install_properties
    " or getter. This is not allowed" % (cls,))
TypeError: GObject subclass <class 'gobject_bug.Test2'> defines do_get/set_property and it also uses a property which a custom setter or getter. This is not allowed

Seems like this issue might have been fixed in the following revision (which apparently didn't make the package shipped in hardy).
Please confirm this.

Excuse me for the possibly stupid question.
Since Hardy is an LTS wouldn't it be possible to deploy an updated package of pygobject with this and possible other gobject bug fixes?
This is a deal breaker for deploying gobject based python applications.

there has been no user request for a backport nor bugs on other softwares due to that so far, I've started to look at the pygobject update but had issue building it and it's not a priority on the list right now

Using the test case, I've reproduced the error with the version of pygobject (python-gobject-2.14.2-0ubuntu1) in hardy 8.04. I've verified that the version in hardy-proposed, 2.14.1-2ubuntu2, does indeed pass the test case. I also attempted to catch regressions by using gedit, an application that claims to directly depend on python-gobject, and saw nothing out of the ordinary.
