In an Arch based distro, this worked for me. You can use another AUR helper such as Pamac or Yay instead of Paru.

paru -S gobject-introspection
pip install pygobject

I got my python setup properly trashed on Ubuntu 20.04. I was trying to use apt-add-repository and got "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'gi'". I had already installed software-properties-common and python3-gi using apt. For me the answer was

sudo apt-get --reinstall install python3-gi
