Building on my system I found that gobject-introspection will need

Although I'm not sure...
We might need to rebuild gobject-introspection, as Marco said,
and python*-mako also.
I am uploading python*mako as test
I will also try to rebuild gobject-introspection
I've just pushed an update for python 3.8 to the playground branch at
https://cygwin.com/git-cygwin-packages/?p=git/cygwin-packages/gobject-introspection.git
That should be a good starting point for you.
I can do a non-maintainer upload of gobject-introspection, rebuilt for
python3, to see if that helps. I'm in the process of testing the build on
Scallywag at the moment. I'm using python37 because of the mako requirement.
I'd prefer to upgrade gobject-introspection to a more recent release rather
than just rebuilding the current release. But, unfortunately, a more recent
gobject-introspection would require a more recent glib2.0. I'm not sure it's
a good idea to update glib2.0 without updating all of GNOME. I tried to
start a discussion about this last May, but it didn't get very far:
I will try the current version as first.
A further upgrade seems to need a major patch effort.
I played with gobject-introspection-1.64.1 last summer and updated the patches.
If you're curious, you can find what I did in the 1.64 branch at the same
source repo that I cited above. But in order to build it, I had to build and
install an updated glib2.0, since it required glib2.0 >= 2.58.0. (I also used
pip to install python-markdown, which was a new build requirement.)
Maybe I'll take a little time right now to push my glib2.0 work in case someone
braver than I am wants to pick this up.
This is now on the playground branch at
https://cygwin.com/git-cygwin-packages/?p=git/cygwin-packages/glib2.0.git
