I understand for all practical purposes, the introspection bindings depend on python 3 and GTK 3. Rapid Photo Downloader currently depends on PIL, which is not yet ported to Python 3. Ripping out PIL, converting to GTK3 + introspection + python3 seems like a massive undertaking! And all this with no actual practical end benefit for the user. On the other hand, if gphoto2 has an introspection binding, that would be a benefit, because finally the user might be able to download from a camera without the nightmare of the buggy gphoto2/gvfs bindings.
