The problem here is that the python classes that wrap GType types are
kept in a cache indexed by GType. This means that whatever wrapper for
a given GType gets loaded the first will stick for the rest of the
life of the process.

See http://git.gnome.org/browse/pygobject/tree/gobject/pygobject.c#n891

We could do some hacks to workaround this but given that pygtk are the
only supported bindings for gtk+2 and pygobject+introspection are the
only supported bindings for gtk+3, probably python modules in GNOME
should keep separate branches depending on the gtk+ version they are
supposed to work with.
