For gtimelog I ended up calling glib-compile-schemas at runtime, prior to `import gi`. I'm also setting os.environ['GSETTINGS_SCHEMA_DIR'] to the directory where my schema file resides (inside the virtualenv's site-packages, usually). This allows me to support 'pip install gtinelog', as well as running straight from a git checkout with no intermediate build step.
