  GStreamer | gst-python | Ver: 0.10.12
           Summary: gst-python managing sys.argv while it shouldn't
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: 0.10.12
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gst-python
        AssignedTo: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net
        ReportedBy: ElemonGW at gmail.com
         QAContact: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net
     GNOME version: Unspecified
   GNOME milestone: Unspecified


Please describe the problem:
As soon as the gst module is imported, it will check sys.argv and if it finds
--help in there it will print its own help message and then exit the
application. This is not proper, the user should be able to choose what to
print. I have attached a very simple example showing this problem.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Launch the attached example.py with the --help option

Actual results:
Only the first message will be printed.

Expected results:
Both messages should be printed and maybe gst shouldn't print anything at all
(unless the user has chosen otherwise, so it may be good to become an option
but printing its message shouldn't be enabled by default in my opinion)

Does this happen every time?
Yes
