          It seems like you are using an anaconda environment. I also faced this issue and fixed it by doing the following:



          First, create a symlink to gi module in your system python. For me, the command is as follows:



          ln -s /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gi/ /home/USERNAME/miniconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/


          Then, open the directory



          cd /home/USERNAME/miniconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/gi/


          and run the following commands:



          sudo cp _gi.cpython-35m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so _gi.cpython-37m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so
          sudo cp _gi_cairo.cpython-35m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so _gi_cairo.cpython-37m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so


          My system python is python3.5 and miniconda python is python3.7. Your versions may differ from mine, so take care of that in the commands above (-35m- and -37m-).

          Hope this helps.
