Issues in installing pygobject in MacOS
Question:
I am trying to install pygobject using pip, even with brew in MacOS, but now successful. I followed guides.
If I use the official installation guide in https://pygobject.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started.html, then I have gtk+3 installed, but when I try to import the library:
python3 -c 'import gi; gi.require_version("Gtk", "3.0"); print("ok")'
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
This is the output of the installation after using pip3:
