The 201911 release have been upgraded to Python 3.8. However, the included python-gobject is incompatible with Python 3.8: Python 3.8.0 (default, Nov 23 2019, 09:12:01) [GCC 8.3.0] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import gobject Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/gobject/__init__.py", line 26, in <module> from glib import spawn_async, idle_add, timeout_add, timeout_add_seconds, \ File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/glib/__init__.py", line 22, in <module> from glib._glib import * SystemError: initialization of _glib raised unreported exception An alternative to python gobject would be python GI, but this requires introspection. As far as I understand this is not yet working.
