In general we try to be compatible with PyGTK, if the syntax is different to what used to work then it is a bug. But looking at http://git.gnome.org/browse/pango/tree/pango/pango-layout.c#n2725 Shows the parameters, correctly, annotated with (out) which means that it should just work. In some cases we do write python shims (overrides) to make the introspection API identical to the old pygtk API, but it looks like it was not necessary in this case http://git.gnome.org/browse/pygobject/tree/gi/overrides/Pango.py#n40 So, no idea why it is not magically working for you. What versions of everything are you using?
