Re: Syntax error importing gi module

[Laszlo Pandy <laszlok2 gmail com>]

Try with python2.6. I believe that our minimum required version.

Also, you should not use pygtk and gi at the same time. Pygtk is for
the old static bindings and will not change the version of the module
from gi. Do this instead (if using the git version):

import gi
gi.require_version('Gtk', '3.0')
from gi.repository import Gtk
