        import gi
    ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'gi'

• Solution:

  • Change python3 location on tweaks tool configuration file.

  • sudo nano /usr/bin/gnome-tweaks

  • Replace on file

  • #!/usr/bin/env python3 to #!/usr/bin/python3

You might want to check if your python3 is upgraded recently, the linked /usr/bin/python3 might have pointed to the new version of python3 which doesn't have the installed python modules because the path of the site-packages folder has been changed due to the upgrade.

This solved worked for me.

I just changed:

• #!/usr/bin/env python3 to #!/usr/bin/env python
