ImportError: No module named gi.repository

Question

I'm trying to launch python script on Ubuntu 10.04:

from gi.repository import Nautilus, GObject

It doesn't work:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "script.py", line 1, in <module>
    from gi.repository import Nautilus, GObject
   ImportError: No module named gi.repository

I installed python-gobject-dev, python-gobject, python-nautilus, but it didn't help. Has anyone had this problem?

Answer 1

Try to fix it by installing PyGObject:

# With Apt on Ubuntu:
$ sudo apt install python3-gi

# With Yum on CentOS / RHEL:
$ sudo yum install python36-gobject.x86_64 

# Or directly with Pip:
$ pip3 install PyGObject
