The .gir files are usually generated at build time and installed in $PREFIX/share/gir-1.0 On Debian based distributions the *-dev packages should contain the gir files, while the gir1.2-* contain the typelib files which a needed by PyGObject at runtime. However, if you compile your packages yourself, use the --enable-introspection switch to make sure to generate the gir typelib files. > > In terms of generated python docs, I haven't found any online - just > > the C-style ones on developer.gnome.org[0].

AFAIK, the best documentation for introspected bindings are still the C-API docs on http://developer.gnome.org > > The only Python-specific documentation I've ever found is here[1].

As stated on https://live.gnome.org/PyGObject#Documentation: This is a work in progress and as of now produces documentation which may not be that useful > Anyway I might take it up with the Gnome devs too.
