FWIW, there are some overrides in the gst-python module now:

 commit 93ab67c78b4b13918e2431617c88ea42c36b2920

    overrides: provide for gst-python style debug logging

    Also provide a default debug category for the binding glue code.

You are passing a string here, it should be an integer (though maybe python
converts it automagically, I don't know.

You are passing a string here, it should be an object (perhaps try None
instead?)

This would be a GstDebugMessage structure, which I don't know if you can just
create it from python. Definitely not just a string. (The point of this
structure is to avoid constructing the string if it's not going to be used
because of some filter criterion.)

It's a pointer, so None might work better ?

If the overrides aren't enough, we'd probably have to add a new function that
works better with bindings.
