[Solved]-Installing PyGObject via pip in virtualenv

7👍

ANSWER IS NOW IN THE POST TAGGED IN COMMENT ABOVE !!!!
Have a look there => Python cannot install PyGObject

Ok I just managed it !

To install PyGObject in virtrualenv, give up with pip.

  1. Install PyGObject system-wide (with your package manager or compile it manually). For example, in my case :

    sudo pacman -Suy python-gobject2
    
  2. Link it in your virtualenv :

    ln -s /usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/gobject* /WHEREVER/IS/YOUR/VIRTUALENV/venv/lib/python3.4/site-packages/
    
  3. You might need to link some other modules (in my case glib) :

    ln -s /usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/glib* /WHEREVER/IS/YOUR/VIRTUALENV/venv/lib/python3.4/site-packages/
    

You might find some helpful infos about system-wide and virtualenv installations and interactions between modules here :
