Hello, I’ve a problem.
My operating system: Linux Mint 21.1
Python version & source: python 3.11, build from source
Description of the problem:
I need the module gi for another program. (ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘gi’) I’ve tried to install it in different ways but every attempt failed:
sudo apt-get install python3-gi

pip3 install gi
Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement gi (from versions: none)

sudo apt-get install python3-gi
python3-gi is already the newest version (3.42.1-0ubuntu1)
This version was built for python 3.10, so won’t qualify for your (local) python 3.11.
pip3 install gi
ERROR: No matching distribution found for gi
The package for Ubuntu’s python3-gi on PyPI is called PyGObject. You’ll probably need to install pkg-config and several *-dev packages to enable pip to build PyGObject.
pip3 install pkg-config
