This is because it is a prerelease, it would be something like (2, 91, 5)

On your other issue, require_version is a static method, not something that is introspected.  Are you sure you aren't importing gtk (the static bindings) somewhere?  Whenever attrs are missing that is usually the cause.  We really should get around to checking for that.  The most common reason for this issue is a module like libchamplain-python importing it.
