Do you use Ubuntu or Debian? The GI support is currently enabled for the

it will also be in unstable (pkg will be there today or tomorrow).
You can simply install gir1.2-packagekitglib-1.0 then. (Debian packages
work on Ubuntu too) As an alternative, you can try the daily builds of PK
from my PPA at [1].
You can find PKs documentation in packagekit-docs (and then in your
Devhelp) or at [2]. Then PyG should do the rest.
If there are any problems with the GIR itself, feel free to contact me, as
I have a strong interest in a high-quality GIR too ;-) (I use it together
with Vala)
If you need changes in any PackageKit package on Debian/Ubuntu or if you
need some quick package builds, you can also always ask me. (For example
splitting up the GNOME-PackageKit package might be a good idea because
parts of it could be useful for USC too, like the session dialogs)

Thank you, I have installed them in both ubuntu natty (via ppa) and
debian wheezy, I'm now at the point where I'm trying to figure out how
to use[1] them[2].
hugsie pointed me to the packagekit client source code (in C), but I
would really appreciate some highlevel (vala or Python) source code
examples :-).
Cheers,
Alex
