Runing python in a terminal then "import gtkspell" doesn't led to an error
message. Here's the output :

karim@karim-V-3902 ~ % python
Python 2.7.11+ (default, Apr 17 2016, 14:00:29)
[GCC 5.3.1 20160413] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import gtkspell
>>>

Btw. make sure python packages are for python 2, not python 3.
>
"Python" version is 2.7, but I have a lot of other packages of python3
(automaticaly installed, not me)

python      python2.7   python3.5   python3m
python2     python3     python3.5m

My version of python-gtkspell is for python2

Sincerely
