GObject introspection only works for Vala/Genie code which is written within
its design constraints (ie, you cannot use nested namespaces)
Further, the various Python GIR libraries are in deep alpha and cannot be
expected to work (at all). I have yet to get them to work. You certainly
will not get "advanced" features such as iterators or Gee->collection
mapping or even class properties to work.
For Python, GIR is overhyped vaporware and best avoided until its grown up
as a project.
Sorry to those who are putting a lot of work into
PyGObject/PyGIR/PyBank/PyNameOfTheMonth but its harmful to mislead project
developers in suggesting they should use something that will only cause them
lost time and frustration.
