I don't know if this is a bug in GStreamer, it seems like a py-gi issue to me.

Apparently this can be hacked around though (courtesy of Alessandro):

from gi.repository import GObject, Gst
Gst.init(None)

def get_element_class(klass):
    element_class = GObject.type_class_peek(klass.__gtype__)
    element_class.__class__ = Gst.ElementClass
    return element_class

class E(Gst.Element):
    pass

get_element_class(E).set_metadata('longname', 'classification', 'description',
'author')
E.register(None, 'foo', Gst.Rank.NONE, E.__gtype__)

print Gst.ElementFactory.make('foo')


Move as enhancement to gst-python or bug to py-gi/introspection?
