i think this is due to a known pb with the way astng is built from
living object (which is necessary when object is coming from C code):
if object's __module__ attribute isn't equivalent to the actual (python)
name of the compiled module, it's missing an important part of available
information. E.g. since :

>>> GObject.__module__
'gobject'

while GObject is actually defined in gobject._gobject, and the same
problem occurs much probably on other objects.
The simpliest way to fix this is to report a bug on the pygtk tracker.
