feature request: base_init

[alberto colombo-3]

hello,

Gob2 manual says that there are two methods that handle the construction
of an object: init(self) and class_init(class). However, there is a
third method, base_init(gclass), that gob2 doesn't know about.

would it be possible to define the base_init constructor from gob, just
like we do with base_init? It is actually required to write GStreamer
objects.

Thank you very much
alberto

PS: at the moment, I'm putting the base_init code in the class_init
constructor, and it works, but this will screw up inheritance, as far as
I understand.

I know this is a year late, but I just did a search for messages matching
"gob" in my inbox and noticed this:

You want to overide the get_type method.  See OVERRIDING THE GET_TYPE METHOD
in the manpage.
