[maemo-developers] [pymaemo] Python-mafw overrides

[From: Andrea Grandi]

Hi,

> Could not write function <function>: No ArgType for <some type>

yes, I got this list too, this is the complete build output:

I'll try to override one of them

I did two things: I built your module (getting an almost complete
mafw.c) and I built mine (that almost use the same code except for the
examples and other stuff....).

The strange thing is that my generated mafw.c is very short:
http://pastebin.ca/1502036
compared to your!

> get_instance MafwRegistry

first I override them, then I add a similar line to the script

ok

p.s: I attach you my base code too, so you can understand better and
quicker what the problem could be. You can find the file here:
