I wrote that python script years ago, when the XML files that describe the gtk+ API were actually pretty bad type-wise.
The script is full of special cases, and very ugly. I don't think anyone should use it as a basis for binding to gtk 4, it
would likely be much better to restart from scratch. I believe the XML files have improved significantly since then, and
are used by more languages bindings, too, so that could likely be simplified.
