Description

This will help some newbies get past line 2 of Hello.py.

These days some IDEs automagically create a virtual environment or the equivalent when starting a project. For those people (example: for me) it is necessary to add PyGobject to the project to run Hello.

(Either that or suggest people don't use a venv.)

Research direction

Review the setup instructions around line 2 of Hello.py and determine how the tutorial currently handles virtual environments. Update the initial steps to explain installing PyGObject in a project environment, or clearly advise against using a venv; done means a newcomer can run Hello.py from a newly created project.
