runtime error for pympress

The minimal code to reproduce this bug is:

>>> import gi
>>> gi.require_version('Poppler', '0.18')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/gi/__init__.py", line 126, in require_version
    raise ValueError('Namespace %s not available' % namespace)
ValueError: Namespace Poppler not available

Background: I wrote an ebuild for pympress[1]. When I run pympress, the attached error appears.

The author of pympress says[2], "Introspection bindings for poppler may be shipped separately, ensure you have those as well (typelib-1_0-Poppler-0_18 on OpenSUSE, gir1.2-poppler-0.18 on Ubuntu)".

Do you have poppler[introspection]?

Enabling introspection do solve this problem. Thanks.
