Hi Adam, sorry for the delay. Installing python3-gi (and python3-gi-cairo) version 3.12.0-1ubuntu1 fixed the issue for me.

This basically breaks the ability to configure the logging as it happens so early (i.e. at the import stage before an authors code is executed). To reproduce/Example: Run this script: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/7698632/ Expected outcome: No output to stdout or stderr and the text "log message" in the file "/tmp/example.log Actual outcome: No log file, and this text output to stderr: ERROR:root:Could not find any typelib for rubbish ERROR:root:log message Upstream fix: https://git.gnome.org/browse/pygobject/commit/?id=ac8b59e Regression potential: - The behaviour of raising ImportError on a nonexisting name does not change, but its text changes. Old: ImportError: cannot import name 'foo' New: ImportError: cannot import name foo, introspection typelib not found It's unlikely, however theoretically possible that a program matches on the precise error message. - It's theoretically possible that a program watches for the logged error message and ignores the ImportError. However, that would be extremely bad design, un-Pythonic and brittle as the logging format/destination can be changed arbitrarily. In summary the regression potential is very low.
