Description Johan (not receiving bugmail) Dahlin 2013-02-09 16:14:06 UTC 
Looking at Gtk.py there's a lot of duplication for some argument types such as GtkTreePath.
It would be great if a generic converter could be registered for that so that could be avoided,
something like:

   gi.register_custom_converters('GtkTreePath', from_, to_)

Having something like that would Gtk.py shrink significantly.
It used to be possible with the old pygtk code generator.
