Python's AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'require_version'

Question

I am using Python3.4. I am trying to open an application which supposedly uses Python and can't seem to get it working. I do receive the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "pychess", line 24, in <module>
    gi.require_version("Gtk", "3.0")
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'require_version'

looks like PyChess requires PyGTK or PyGObject to bind to GTK+3 the popular Gnome graphical backend. What platform are you on? Linux? Macintosh? Windows? You should read the PyChess downloads. Probably best way would be to install through your systems package manager on Linux. — Mark Mikofski

I am executing it via ./pychess in it's respective directory, and I am using Linux. — Kalis

I am experiencing the same error running Remarkable on CentOS 7.3. — dotancohen

I had the same error in Ubuntu, I simply did this : sudo pip install PyGTK . Everything started working. — João Cartucho

Install the dependency with pip install PyGTK, as João Cartucho suggests.
