Hi Colomban,

I'm pretty sure I met that very same issue the last time I built
gobject-introspection (1.48.something). The official doc [1] says
it is still python2 based, so I supposed things did not change.

Anyway, at least according to meson.build [2], python 3 is now
supported, so I stand corrected.

Ciao.
