Expected Behavior

Should free the created list and return True

Current Behavior

AttributeError: module 'obspython' has no attribute 'obs_frontend_source_list_free'

Steps to Reproduce

1. create a frontend source list via
   scenes = obs.obs_frontend_get_scenes()
2. Try to free the list via the documented method
   obs.obs_frontend_source_list_free(scenes)

Anything else we should know?

This is my first bug report, if I'm missing something please be kind. :)

Documented method is for the C API. Obspython has some added peculiarities as not everything is wrapped, and not everything that's wrapped is wrapped correctly.

scenes_list = obs.obs_frontend_get_scenes()
for source in scenes_list:
    print(obs.obs_source_get_name(source))
    obs.obs_source_release(source)

Thanks for your reply. I was just doing it according to this comment which says to not release the scenes manually.

You shouldn't release the scenes manually if you release the list as a whole.
In obspython, since we cannot release the list as a whole because the function isn't wrapped, the only option we have is to release all the scenes manually.

I will add that in my opinion, in obspython, this function should only be used if you need to get the scenes in the order they are in the scenes dock. If you don't particularly need that order, I consider the more proper way to be obs_enum_sources with a check on whether the source type is a scene.

Got you. Thanks.
