Bug Description

I've solve it since, but after doing "sudo apt-get install typecatcher" on a fresh ubuntu 13.10 server install I would get the following error:

bryan@dt:~$ typecatcher
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/typecatcher", line 46, in <module>
    import typecatcher
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/typecatcher/__init__.py", line 21, in <module>
    from gi.repository import Gtk # pylint: disable=E0611
ImportError: No module named gi.repository

However after diving around I fixed the problem by installing python-gobject

sudo apt-get install python-gobject
