What idiom is this? Why are you constructing self.myobject that way?

No idea. Many many things could have gone wrong. Check where the typelibs are installed and check if they can be found with the GI_TYPELIB_PATH environment variable (IIRC). Poke about by printing .__file__ of things which successfully import. It feels like you are changing far too many things at once, and there is many subtle ways the libraries could be interacting poorly. I would start again, chuck everything is ~/bin/ and slowly make it work one at a time by setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH, PYTHONPATH, GI_TYPELIB_PATH, etc. Or just use JHbuild to sandbox everything.
