Lite Control Center will not start - mzito59 - 02-20-2016

The Lite Control Center will no longer start on my machine. 
This is a new issue and the control center has worked for me in the past. 
I tried reinstalling through synaptic with no success. 

When run in terminal I get the following message:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/litecc/litecenter.py", line 11, in <module>
    from gi.repository import Gtk as gtk
ImportError: No module named 'gi'

Did I accidentally remove a gtk lib? Which one?  How to restore it?

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

What is the output of:

Code:
apt-cache policy python3-gi

correction made

Re: Lite Control Center will not start - shaggytwodope - 02-20-2016

You need to install the package python3-gi

Code:
sudo apt-get install python3-gi

This should be a dependacy for control center's debian package in the future. You should not remove python depends without fully considering the impact.

This package among possible others depend on python3-gi, gdebi and other programs might be effected. If you want to remove programs in the future, don't be afraid to ask for advice on possible impact.

What software have you removed since you first installed?

Re: Lite Control Center will not start - shaggytwodope - 02-20-2016

Check if the pacakge gir1.2-gtk-3.0 is installed. Short of that, be much easier to just have to run a system report for me to look at. Menu > System > Create System Report.

What a great and responsive community.  Thanks to all for their suggestions.

Sheepishly reporting that it was a result of allowing anaconda to prepend its path in my ~/.bashrc file.

All is well now...

How do I mark the thread SOLVED?

Removed some needless info, compressed images a bit more. Overall some speed should increase. Also added version req for gi import.
