[Telepathy] tpfarsight (Python) and GObject Introspection Incompatibilities

Hello,

My application suddenly stopped working after an upgrade. So I spent
the better part of today trying to figure out why. It turns out the
latest version of gobject-introspection is very strict and doesn't
allow mixing non-introspectable python bindings with introspectable
ones. Fortunately, my app runs its tpfarsight streamer in its own
process. So it was easy to revert to using old school python bindings
for gobject.

To cut the long story short. I think the python bindings for
telepathy-farsight and or farsight wouldn't work with the latest PyGI
and gobject-introspection. Is this a known issue? Should I file a bug
report?

These are the versions of the relevant libraries I have installed.

gobject-introspection 1.29.16
telepathy-farsight 0.0.19
telepathy-farsight-python 0.0.19
telepathy-glib 0.15.5
pygobject3 2.90.2
