Good :)

This does not look bad news to me :) It is expected that some methods
cannot be wrapped automatically because of uknown types. Even PyGTK
has some missing methods in their bindings due to this. The solution
(somewhat complex because requires understanding of codegen and
Python/C) is to implement the missing methods using overrides.

Unless some of the missing methods are really necessary for some
application, you can simply ignore this for now, and wait for
applications to actually start using it.

The coverage percentage is actually pretty good in my opinion. Looking
at the Debian build logs
(https://buildd.debian.org/fetch.cgi?pkg=python-poppler;ver=0.10.0-1;arch=i386;stamp=1236506347),
you will see the very same result.

As I said above, the Debian build logs show that nothing is wrong (for now) :)

Good job!

Regards.
