Add a pre-commit hook that automatically checks if GES children properties documentation is up to date when GES source files are modified. The hook runs the document-children-props.py script and warns if the generated documentation files have changes that need to be committed. This ensures that children properties documentation stays synchronized with code changes and prevents outdated documentation from being merged.

gst-python
gst-python is an extension of the regular GStreamer Python bindings based on gobject-introspection information and PyGObject.
It provides two things:
-
"syntactic sugar" in form of overrides for various GStreamer APIs that makes them easier to use in Python and more pythonic; and
-
support for APIs that aren't available through the regular gobject-introspection based bindings, such as e.g. GStreamer's fundamental GLib types such as
Gst.Fraction,Gst.IntRangeetc.
Prerequisites
These libraries are needed to build gst-python:
- gstreamer core
- gst-plugins-base
- pygobject
You will also need pygobject and glib installed. On debian-based distros you can install these with:
sudo apt build-dep python3-gst-1.0
Only Python 3 is supported.
Building
meson setup builddir && ninja -C builddir
meson install -C builddir
Using
Once installed in the right place, you don't need to do anything in order to use the overrides. They will be loaded automatically on
import gi
gi.require_version('Gst', '1.0')
from gi.repository import GObject, Gst
Note that additional imports will be required for other GStreamer libraries to
make use of their respective APIs, e.g. GstApp or GstVideo.
