gi module missing... brew.sh has No python3-gi

https://askubuntu.com/questions/80448/what-would-cause-the-gi-module-to-be-missing-from-python

https://www.python.org/search/?q=module+gi

anyway... more problems https://github.com/lbryio/lbry-desktop/issues/7580

LBRY is a Cat & Mouse game...

Lbrycrd works in OSX HighSierra, but latest LBRY does Not.

Lbrycrd does Not work in Kubuntu 22.04.1 LTS but latest LBRY works ok. but latest LBRY deleted credits counter.

FastLBRY-GTK works in Kubuntu, but Not in OSX HighSierra.

installing higher than OSX Catalina 10.15.7 on Intel machines makes No sense, BigSur11/Monterey12 Hybrid kernel memory goes -30% slower. tested with RAMDiskCreator + BlackMagic Speed Test.

downloading the chain is getting mission impossible. To make everything work in 1x OS, No VM, is getting insane crazy complex.

$ cd '/Users/me/Downloads/fastlbry-gtk/' && '/usr/local/bin/python3'  '/Users/me/Downloads/fastlbry-gtk/run.py'  && echo Exit status: $? && exit 1
Traceback (most recent call last):

gi is the PyGobject library that contains many useful things like GTK, cairo and similar. They are not pre-installed on anything but GNU / Linux. Therefor on Kubuntu it works, and on Windows or MacOS it doesn't work.

Installing only PyGobject on windows, as I far as I know, will not install GTK. People have told me that. I myself do not touch non-free software. I'm not sure what is going to be the behavior on MacOS. Nobody I know of tried it.

There could be also a PIL module missing. Sometimes Arch installations have it missing.

The software is not meant to be run on anything but GNU / Linux. But if you are able to run it. Please share with us your expertise. I cannot test Windows or MacOS builds because I will always refuse to have these OSes installed. So don't build on me maintaining something like this.
