This is a bit unclear, perhaps what you want is the --prefix option
for configuring gobject-introspection?

gobject-introspection $ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/cpython-3.3

pygobject $ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/cpython-3.3
--with-python=/usr/local/cpython-3.3/bin/python3

You can also use the PYTHON environment variable instead of
"--with-python". If you are not already using jhbuild, I recommend it:
  https://wiki.gnome.org/HowDoI/Jhbuild

After that you can set custom configure flags for pygobject in the
jhbuild config:
  module_autogenargs['pygobject'] =
'--with-python=/usr/local/cpython-3.3/bin/python3'
