I found this Stack Overflow page:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7823972/cant-import-webkit-from-gi-repository

It had instructions for a solution to a WebKit problem instead of a Gdk problem, but it seemed similar.

I copied the instructions and:
 - replaced locate girepository | grep WebKit with locate girepository | grep Gdk
 - replaced sudo apt-get install gir1.2-webkit-3.0 with sudo apt-get install gir1.2-gdkpixbuf-2.0
 - replaced gi.require_version('WebKit', '3.0') with gi.require_version('Gdk', '2.0')
 - replaced from gi.repository import WebKit with from gi.repository import Gdk

 After I was done doing that, I ran sudo apt-get update to hopefully make sure the system knew it got something new and exciting.

When I tried to run my script again, I got the same error as in step (8) above.

I uninstalled the gir1.2-gdkpixbuf-2.0 package and got rid of the extra lines I'd added to my script, and I guess I'll wait to try it again when someone suggests something new to try in here.
