This a problem with the gobject-introspection package.
_giscanner.dll is linked with python2, but the shbang names 'python',
which is now python3.
I have been working on rebuilding this package, but not quite there yet.
You can work around this by fixing the shebang in /usr/bin/g-ir-scanner
to explicitly name python3.
