I'm the developer for nautilus-python, the python bindings for the nautilus extension framework. I'm having trouble figuring out where to begin with porting the bindings from PyGTK to PyGI.
The way the current bindings work is that they act as a regular Nautilus C extension then automatically imports python scripts that it finds in various preset locations. The python extensions derive the main class from available class names (e.g. nautilus.MenuProvider), and implement methods that the nautilus-python C extension will then call when Nautilus calls the functions the C extension has implemented. Currently, nautilus-python depends on pygtk in order to be able to convert some C objects into valid PyObject objects and back again. It also initializes pygtk and pygobject at runtime, but I'm not entirely sure why it needs to do this. I don't understand how this will change with gobject introspection. The Nautilus extension library has introspection support but I gather that this is only to add it's symbols to the gi repository. I'm not sure how to make use of this or if it is even relevant to what I'm doing. All in all, I've had a hard time coming to grips with all of this as I've found very limited documentation on how to use PyGI for a project like nautilus-python. Please excuse my poor questions, as I'm not even sure which questions I should be asking at this point. This email is an attempt to reach out to the community so I can get pointed in the right direction.
