This is really cool, thanks!  Sonata was my main music player back in
the day and I'm glad to see that it's being maintained again.  I
cleaned it up somewhat, built it, and ran it.  I'm hesitant to push
the patch right now, though, and I hope someone who knows more about
Python can help me clear some things up.

I don't like that gtk+ and gobject-introspection need to be propagated
 Could anyone familiar with creating Python bindings for C libraries
tell me if it would be possible to patch pygobject to include the
absolute path to the gtk+ and gobject-introspection libraries?  This
has been the strategy for avoiding propagation of C libraries within
Guile packages, and I'm hoping it applies here.

Thanks,

- Dave
