Gnome terminal does not start due to error in python script related to GI

Question

When I run the gnome terminal, I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/gnome-terminal", line 9, in <module>
    from gi.repository import GLib, Gio
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/gi/__init__.py", line 39
    print url

This looks strange to me because the script is in a Python 3.4 installation, but calls print as if it were a Python2 script (which is why the error occurs).

I tried reinstalling the gi package with pip3, but it continues to install this version, which looks like a python2 script.

My gnome terminal points to the / usr / bin / gnome terminal, which is a python script that starts with C #! / Usr / bin / python3.

Lines with this particular error in init .py:

                 print url                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   
         except GistError as e:                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  
                 print e.value     

This offers a quick solution: put the brackets in these two printed lines.

  File "/usr/bin/gnome-terminal", line 9, in <module>
    from gi.repository import GLib, Gio
ImportError: No module named 'gi.repository'

Which is strange.

pip3 install gi , , gi .

Answer 4

I also got this problem after upgrading python3.5 to python3.6

This is not the best way, but it works fine.

this problem is due to _gi_cairo. I solved it with the following code

 cd /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gi/
 sudo cp _gi.cpython-35m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so _gi.cpython-36m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so
 sudo cp _gi_cairo.cpython-35m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so _gi_cairo.cpython-36m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so

Answer 5

What happened to me with the script / usr / bin / chrome-gnome-shell on Linux (RHEL 7.6):

Traceback (most recent call last):
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/chrome-gnome-shell", line 16, in <module>
    from gi.repository import GLib, Gio
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'gi'

To fix this, I had to install PyGObject :

$ sudo yum install python36-gobject.x86_64
# or directly with pip: pip3 install PyGObject

After the installation was completed, running the script showed no errors.
