gi.require_version("Gtk", "3.0")
from gi.repository import Gtk

window = Gtk.Window(title="Hello World")

window.connect("destroy", Gtk.main_quit)
Gtk.main()

Before we can run the example application we need to install PyGObject, GTK and their dependencies. Follow the instructions below.

Installing the system provided PyGObject

Installation

Open the terminal and run the following command in it.

$ sudo apt install python3-gi python3-gi-cairo gir1.2-gtk-3.0

Installing from PyPI with pip

Open a terminal to install the build dependencies and GTK by running this command:

$ sudo apt install libgirepository1.0-dev gcc libcairo2-dev pkg-config python3-dev gir1.2-gtk-3.0

Install the pip3

We have to install the pip3 in our Kali Linux by this command.

$ sudo apt install python3-pip

Build and install Pycairo

pip3 install pycairo

Install PyGObject

pip3 install PyGObject

After installing these packages you have to change the working directory to where your hello.py script can be found. And run the following command:

python3 hello.py
