Install GStreamer 1.0 packages

This should give you all the packages you likely want:

• sudo apt-get install gstreamer1.0-tools gir1.2-gstreamer-1.0 gir1.2-gst-plugins-base-1.0 gstreamer1.0-plugins-good gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly gstreamer1.0-libav

Note that is all one line.

Using GStreamer 1.0 from Python

You can use from Python (2 or 3) using PyGI like this:

• >>> import gi
  >>> gi.require_version('Gst', '1.0')
  >>> from gi.repository import Gst
  >>> Gst.version()
  (1, 0, 0, 0)

Although currently the default will be Gst 1.0 if available, it's still a good idea to gi.require_version('Gst', '1.0') so that the code will clearly fail if Gst 1.0 isn't available.
