pip3 install pygobject ERROR: Nothing to do, gio could not be found and is essential

I want to install pygobject for python3 on mac OSX

pip3 install pygobject

It raises an error below:

$ pip3 install pygobject
Collecting pygobject
  Using cached pygobject-2.28.3.tar.bz2
    Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
      File "/private/var/xxxx/pip-build-m79wzagx/pygobject/setup.py", line 272
        raise SystemExit, 'ERROR: Nothing to do, gio could not be found and is essential.'

This python3 pygobject package requires pygobject3, install the pygobject3 on Mac OSX first:

$ brew install pygobject3 --with-python3

$ pip3 install pygobject
