Python Code

Cannot obtain information about hyperlinks on the current page using python. 

This might also be a problem with the GLib bindings. The problem appears also using gjs bindings (will not post here unless specifically required), but with C and vala it appears to work correctly.

I attach a test pdf, generated using latex with a few hyperlinks and inner-document links.

With the attached vala code, I get the following output.


$ ./mini_linkmap

The python code should give a similar output. However, The URI strings are returned empty.

If the goto_dest named_dest string is queried, even the python interpreter crashes most times and sometimes yields garbage.
