pygobject tests seem to require pygtk to be present as building tests fail with:

This would cause a circular dep problem since pygobject would need pygtk while last one already requires pygobject.

You can see downstream bug report in:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=199725

and I have just reproduced this with pygobject-2.20.0

Thanks a lot

This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
Comment 2 Pacho Ramos 2010-09-02 11:12:01 UTC 
The problem is that after applying:
http://git.gnome.org/browse/pygtk/commit/?id=b7ac3513997ad7c561bb830341e96db1bc9d529a

to pygobject-2.20, tests fail to run with:

make  check-local
