I just played with it a bit. I think that not installing the patched 
pygobject did not work. For my first test I built it in the folder and 
run pylint on a file in that folder - so the errors were still there. (I 
verified here that a call to gobject.GObject.__module__ was '_gobject' 
fine).

I found out because I put prints in object_build and 
self._module.__name__ was always '__builtin__' and getattr(self._module, 
'__file__', None) always 'None' when testing with the uninstalled pygobject.

After installing the patched pygobject the pylint output looks much 
better :) Looks like this was the issue why Johan and my first test failed.

Best,
