You can put

  os.environ['PYTHON'] = 'python3'

into your ~/.jhbuildrc configuration, then clean up your pygobject
git checkout with

  git clean -fdx

and then rebuild it

  jhbuild buildone pygobject

Then your jhbuild install will have the Python 3 version of pygobject.

Note that this will not clean up the old 2.x version, so if you want
to make sure that this is gone, remove lib/python2.7/ from your
jhbuild install tree.
