Error while running gnome-terminal

Question

I have Ubuntu 16.04 and my gnome-terminal does not work (I cannot do "run from terminal"). I have xterm, and when I try to run:

gnome-terminal

I get:

Traceback:
   File "/usr/bin/gnome-terminal", line 9, in <module>
     from gi.repository import Glib, Gio
ModlueNotFoundError: No module named 'gi'

I tried to reinstall:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install gnome-terminal

but it did not help.

What can I do?

Did you do anything with default python? – Pilot6 Feb 01 '20 at 20:37 — Pilot6, Feb 01 '20 at 20:37
@Pilot6 yes, I replaced python 3.5 with python 3.8 – Erel Segal-Halevi Feb 01 '20 at 20:40 — Erel Segal-Halevi, Feb 01 '20 at 20:40

Install the python gi module since it seems to be missing.

sudo apt install python-gi python3-gi
