Could you check whether any other packages (not python3-gi) had installed files into: /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gi/ If so, I think that might cause the symptoms encountered here (python3 would allow gi to import as a module, but it would not contain the python3-gi code that the matplotlib library requires) Regards, James
