On a RHEL8 variant (Rocky Linux 8) the resolution was to use /usr/bin/python3.6m instead of regular python3.6 (or any of the other Python variants I had installed which did not end with an 'm').

More info on 'm' variants can be found here: What's the difference between python3.<x> and python3.<x>m

Bit late on the answer but I am having the same problem in 2023. I have the same problem with a python installation as user in /usr/local/bin instead of /usr/bin. Hope this helps someone

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

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
