No module named 'gi'

[vaporii]

I'm on Arch. After creating a python venv and following the instructions on the README, I'm receiving the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/[username]/xborder/./xborders", line 11, in <module>
    import gi
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'gi'

This happens when building manually, and using the AUR.

This happened to me to.
sudo pacman -S python-gobject
you need this package as well.

You have to use pygobject. Installing pygobject using sudo pacman -S python-gobject didn't work for me. I assume it is because it was installed system wide, not installed inside virtual environment.
I used this command while being inside virtual environment and it worked.
pip install pygobject

Note that I use fish. That's why I have added .fish after activate. It asked me to upgrade so I used pip install --upgrade pip
These are the commands I used to make it work:

cd ~/.config
git clone https://github.com/deter0/xborder
cd xborder
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate.fish
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install --upgrade pip
Trying to ./xborders --help gives  No module named 'requests' error
nano /home/Twinkle/.config/xborder/xborders
Replace #!/bin/python3 with the line below the top. Rename the [username] with your home user name. no brackets
#!/home/[username]/.config/xborder/venv/bin/python
Example: #!/home/Alex/.config/xborder/venv/bin/python
./xborders --help will now give No module named 'gi'
pip install pygobject
./xborders --help
nano ~/.config/fish/config.fish
set PATH $PATH /home/Twinkle/.config/xborder
exec_always --no-startup-id fish -c 'source ~/.config/fish/config.fish; killall xborders; xborders --config ~/.config/xborder/config'
blur-background-exclude = [
    "role = 'xborder'"
];
nano ~/.config/xborder/config
example config
{
  "border-rgba": "#0cbdc1",
  "border-radius": 10,
  "border-width": 2,
  "border-mode": "outside",
  "disable-version-warning": false
}

Now it should work
