Well, apparently it's not possible to have callback with PyGObject while 
it was possible with PyGtk. I'm agree that it supports more libraries 
because it easier to write bindings but perhaps less features you cannot 
gain everywhere. If something is not supported by PyGtk, I can write the 
wrapper manually, it's more difficult but possible. It looks more 
difficult to do the same with PyGObject.

I have read this post, where it says that it's "much slower"
http://blogs.gnome.org/johan/2010/07/08/using-llvm-to-speed-up-function-invocation-in-a-dynamic-language-binding/
But it can be improved using the technics described in the post.

I don't want to keep using PyGtk instead of PyGObject. I think it's 
better to change Anjuta or try to improve PyGObject (it's the advantage 
of using free software) but on the other hand it's important to keep 
realistic expectations.

Sébastien
