Gstreamer Python bindings are not real bindings as such - they are a few 
tweaks and overrides on top of standard Python's support for 
introspection (which provided by pygobject), and they also add support 
for writing gstreamer elements in python.

Generally, nowadays any support for GLib-based software in language 
environments other than C or C++ is provided only through introspection.

If you want to write your software in anything else than C or C++, and 
you want to use gstreamer, webkit, gtk, glib's dbus support, etc., you 
have to have introspection working:
