This is very interesting. Once gobject introspection is in place, vala
based software like Rygel can finally be compiled directly from the vala
source, which makes it much easier to apply patches against it.
Also, I think the GStreamer 1.0 Python bindings need GIR. This recipe
could then be reintroduced (it was there, but got removed).

Gstreamer Python bindings are not real bindings as such - they are a few tweaks and overrides on top of standard Python's support for introspection (which provided by pygobject), and they also add support for writing gstreamer elements in python.

Generally, nowadays any support for GLib-based software in language environments other than C or C++ is provided only through introspection.

If you want to write your software in anything else than C or C++, and you want to use gstreamer, webkit, gtk, glib's dbus support, etc., you have to have introspection working:
