Here is the output of that command:

saf$ pip3 install -U gtk
Collecting gtk
  Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement gtk (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for gtk



As an experiment, I tried modifying importdialog.py, replacing the "import gtk" line with:

import gi
gi.require_version('Gtk', '3.0')
from gi.repository import Gtk as gtk

I also had to change "tips = gtk.Tooltips()" to "tips = gtk.Tooltip()", because they appear to have dropped the plural "s" from the class name.

However, the new "Tooltip" class seems to be different from the previous "Tooltips" class, because now I get this exception:

Again, I'm a python noob, but it looks like the python3 Gtk tooltip API has changed such that set_tip has been removed.
