Ok, yes you're right I did discount gi.repository out of hand, and perhaps 
that was unfair.

I needed a connection manager fast and felt learning the telepathy spec was 
enough to be frustrated with at once.

However to actually do anything to help with the gi.repository python 
bindings, I'd need to understand how it actually works. I've tried on a few 
occasions to find documentation explaining how you go from gobjects to a 
typelib to something importable into a dynamic language, and have yet to find 
information on any of those steps. 

After years of working with python, reading really verbose C code like what's 
commonly in Gnome is just a really unpleasant way of trying to understand 
something.
