The gstreamer headers total 28446 lines, and the Python bindings total
14736 lines. This includes blank lines and comments, but is still a
massive target you've set yourself.

For this one, you might be better off deciding on which (small subset
of!) the facilities you want to interface with, at least to start with,
and writing the bindings by hand.
