------- Comment #6 from Edward Hervey  2009-03-30 09:26 UTC -------
The workaround is straight forward : parse sys.argv before calling import gst.
sys.argv parsing should, after all, be the first thing you do in your
application/loader.

We're then left with two options in gst-python:
* Leave it as it is now (parses the existing sys.argv when 'import gst' is
called).
* Don't pass any arguments to gst_init() ... but then (1) it causes a
regression for existing applications relying on that behaviour, (2) we no
longer have a way to pass arguments to gst_init().

the sys.argv arguments *NEED* to be parsed when calling gst_init(). There's no
way around that, since they will modify the gstreamer initialization.

marking as WONTFIX.
