PyGIWarning : Gtk&AppIndicator3 were imported without specifying a version first

[adrenochrome]

Hello,

i'm using :

Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS
4.10.0-42-generic #46~16.04.1-Ubuntu SMP x86_64
indicator-cpufreq 0.2.2-0ubuntu2 all

when launching indicator-cpufreq from terminal, following warnings are displayed :

/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/indicator_cpufreq/indicator.py:20: 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
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/indicator_cpufreq/indicator.py:21: PyGIWarning: AppIndicator3 was imported without specifying a version first. Use gi.require_version('AppIndicator3', '0.1') before import to ensure that the right version gets loaded.
  from gi.repository import AppIndicator3 as appindicator

to get rid of them, i had to apply the warning suggestions by editing /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/indicator_cpufreq/indicator.py
and change :

from gi.repository import GLib
from gi.repository import Gtk
from gi.repository import AppIndicator3 as appindicator

to

from gi.repository import GLib
import gi
gi.require_version('Gtk', '3.0')
from gi.repository import Gtk
gi.require_version('AppIndicator3', '0.1')
from gi.repository import AppIndicator3 as appindicator

does it exist a cleaner or more generic way of fixing this warning ? if not, why this one is not released ?

regards,

Matthieu

I get this error randomly.
I have no idea what causes it.
Python update?
Kernel update?
Its seems random.

note: with no sign of a fix for this bug in sight I am adding the following lines to my .profile file in my home folder to force a particular frequency and governor after a shell login:

sudo cpufreq-set -g performance
sudo cpufreq-set -f 3300000

On AMD's, enable “Cool n Quiet” in the BIOS.

Hey. I came here with the same problem. After changing the "indicator.py" file it didn't work.
Searching more I found a forum on the internet with a solution that worked for me.

My processor is AMD and in the BIOS the “Cool n Quiet” option was disabled and the error was exactly the same. I'm a beginner programmer and I don't program in python, but what I understand is that it can't get the frequency values, generating the error.

It would be interesting to have a check or a warning to check/enable the “Cool n Quiet” option for AMD's devices.

Sorry for my beginner english.
