Description: The dependency tree in some python packages is mixed between python2 and python (3):

python-gobject 3.2.2 for python has gobject-introspection as dependency, and

gobject-introspection 1.32.1-2 has python2 as dependency

It seems wierd that a python dependent package needs python2

As the packages are also out of date, it could be good to clarify that point with an update of them.
Thanks.

the dependencies are fine.
gobject-introspection depends on python2 because the scanner and the compilation tool requires python2. look at the shebang for the files: pacman -Ql gobject-introspection | grep bin
note that the tools require python2 and not the library libgirepository-1.0.so.1

python-gobject contains the bindings for python as in python 3 and it depends on gobject-introspection because it requires the library /usr/lib/python3.2/site-packages/gi/_gi_cairo.so -- libgirepository-1.0.so.1

as for being out of date, none of them are out of date. Gnome follows the odd/even scheme for versioning, which means odd unstable, even stable.
