$ locate glib.py

Hopefully this is the right place to report. Tried installing packages that contain glib.py didn't help.

Still present on kernel Ubuntu 5.8.0-16.17-generic 5.8.0

I a guessing this is what that fixed it:

Apparently gobject PyGObject were missing for the root user but was installed for me. So I installed both as root via pip and it works fine, or it could be a update I didn't follow...

The correct depends are all there.

Depends: dbus, gir1.2-glib-2.0, python3-dbus, python3-gi, python3:any

Hence from gi.repository import GLib should work.

@kortewegdevries You really shouldn't install stuff via pip, maybe an earlier pip run broke it?

[bbhtt (bbhtt)]

I know. I saw that the deps were satisfied but it still refused to run. This time I did it because I was building some python programs and needed pip to install some stuff, but pip failed building because gi and some other packages were missing as a dependancy. So I set a pkgconfig path and installed them as --user, still wouldn't run...doing above solved both problems...I guess something happened during an upgrade...
