Bug Description

I've tried installing variety via apt-get (Ubuntu 16.04, Unity) and by grabbing with bzr, but in either case when I run it I get this:

$ ./variety
/tmp/variety/variety/__init__.py:108: PyGIWarning: Gtk was imported without specifying a version first. Use gi.require_version('Gtk', '3.0') before import to ensure that the right version gets loaded.
  from gi.repository import Gtk, Gdk, GObject # pylint: disable=E0611

    class TreeBuilderForHtml5lib(html5lib.treebuilders._base.TreeBuilder):

This is the same thing I get when I run 'variety -v'
