Bug#524545: python-gobject: incorrect grammar in description

Package: python-gobject
Version: 2.16.1-1
Severity: minor
The description contains "...that allows to program...". The verb
"to allow" does not take a bare infinitive. Proper phrasing would
either specify a subject, as in: "that allows one to program",
or "that allows the programmer to program"; or would use the
gerund as in "that allows programming". The most idiomatic would
be the last alternative.
