mike@/deb73:~> python

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named gi.repository

Not found from the gnumeric Python CL either.
Where does 'gi.repository' come from?
Is that from the larger Gnome desktop package?
If it matters I'm running Debian Wheezy on a P3 w/ 256M ram.

Thanks for your help,
Mike
