+Subject: [PATCH] brain: gi: fix glib detection
+
+pygobject has some special hidden modules that we need to inspect
+for glib and gobject. However, on latest pygobject, the hidden glib
+module has been removed, which caused pylint to fail to detect
+glib whatsoever.
+
+Tread errors in processing these hidden modules as non-fatal.
+
+Closes astroid issue #49
