NM fails in configuration time if `--enable-introspection` ins enabled.
Configure fails in L1290:

        if ! "$PYTHON" -c 'from gi.repository import GObject' >&
/dev/null; then
                AC_MSG_ERROR(["--enable-introspection aims to build the
settings documentation. This requires GObject introspection for python
(pygobject)])
        fi

The execution of GObject check in the native environment causes this
exception:

    $PYTHON -c 'from gi.repository import GObject'
    Traceback (most recent call last):
     File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 890, in _find_spec
    AttributeError: 'DynamicImporter' object has no attribute 'find_spec'

    During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
      File
"/home/igalia/psaavedra/yocto/build/tmp/work/i586-poky-linux/networkmanager/1.10.6-r0/recipe-sysroot-native/usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/gi/importer.py",
line 127, in find_module
        'introspection typelib not found' % namespace)
    ImportError: cannot import name GObject, introspection typelib not found


I tried to add these depends:

    python3-pygobject \
    python3-pygobject-native \

with no success.


I didn't find any examples of similar solution for this issues. Only I
found a unreplied email with this very similar issue, so any suggestion
is welcome to make a good fix.

Alternatively, since the introspection is interesting as a run depends
for D-Bus discovery, WDYT about patch the `configure.ac` in order to
skip this failing assertion but adding an explicit RDEPEND with
python3-pygobject in the recipe?
