There is no GObject introspection for Granite

[Aleksandar Jovanov]

I have noticed that you do not provide gobject introspection.
There is a gobject-introspection but it is empty.

This is a big problem because it does not allow using Granite in Python, Javascript or any other gir aware programing language.
There was a question about using Granite in Python in Scratch answers, where the proposed answer was
import gee.repository.Granite

This is of course a bad answer for two reasons:
1. It is gi.repository
2. There is no gobject introspection data for python to use Granite

So, to sum things up.
You will need to change your build process to use valac to generate the .gir file
Pass --gir Granite-1.0.gir to valac
And then call the g-ir-compiler like :
g-ir-compiler --shared-library=libgranite.so --output=granite-1.0.typelib granite-1.0.gir

/usr/share/gir-1.0 is where .gir files are stored
I am not sure where are .typelib files stored

In the second sentence, I mean gobject-introspedtion folder.

I noticed that the required files exist, but they are not detected by Python...
For example, /usr/lib/girepository-1.0/Granite-0.1.1.typelib exists; /usr/share/gir-1.0/Granite.0.1.1.gir exists...

I'm using quantal, and I installed Granite using Elementary Dev PPA.

[Davide Depau (depau)]

Now there's a new package, gir1.2-granite-1.0.
It works.
