I don't know if this is related, but It seems you are missing the empty __init__.py in the codegen/ directory. This is a requirement for a directory so python may consider it as a package.
That would indeed cause the problem, but it seems unlikely: __init__.py isn't empty (4 LOC + copyright) and under version control.

That prolly doesn't make any sense to you, don't worry about it. @prefix@ is the root of the directory tree where glib is getting installed: /usr/local by default on a Unix/Linux box. @datarootdir@ is where various data files (man pages, translation files, etc.) go, normally prefix/share on a Unix/Linux box. @VERSION@ is the Glib version, currently 2.35.4.

Hmm. Your python doesn't seem to agree that codegen is a package, in spite of being imported into gdbus-codegen.
Try changing the line to just "import config".
