I tried that and jhbuild bootstrap worked:-)

However when I then tried jhbuild build pygobject it wouldn't build some
Gtk-docs-related stuff (so I opted to ignore and continue), but also
failed to build glib, py2cairo, gobject-introspection---and consequently
pygobject.

So in the end, I've been unable to install PyGObject into my local
Python 3.1 and Python 3.2 builds. This is disappointing. I guess I'll
have to wait until Python 3 + PyGObject for Gtk+ 3 is a matter of
installing standard packages on the major Linux distros.

Anyway, thanks to you and the others who tried to help.
