I develop and test it on Tails. But I just tested it with a Debian
stretch and Debian jessie and it worked without problems. Do you have
GNOME installed? The error message says that it couldn't find the gi
module, which is provided by the debian package python-gi and required
by many GTK applications.

I'm online on OFTC, but currently not in any channel. I'm not a regular
IRC user and don't know if it's possible to write me if I'm not inside a
channel.

Cheers!
