Cygwin meld is currently without a maintainer. cygwin.com/packages/summary/meld-src.html as such it is stacked with version built for python-3.6. python36-gi does exist cygwin.com/packages/summary/python36-gi.html so installing it could solve your problem.

| Dec 5, 2024 at 21:39 | comment | added | Marcus Müller | yes, but forcing random things makes it impossible to debug things. and again, not related to Linux/UNIX. Yes, CYGWIN is a POSIX platform for Windows, but you're not really making use of that. You're just running cross-platform software on windows. | |
| Dec 5, 2024 at 21:33 | comment | added | einpoklum | @MarcusMüller: Ah, yes, that's true, but: 1. To a version that's part of the Python distro and 2. Only because it doesn't work without this forcing (and used to work for me until recently, with it.) | |
| Dec 5, 2024 at 21:31 | comment | added | Marcus Müller | no, it's not "fresh" if you try to force it to use a different python version. | |

| Dec 5, 2024 at 17:38 | comment | added | eyoung100 | See Cygwin: Meld. We cannot fix the fact that the maintainer decided to orphan the package. There's also a python36 package and a python3-gi | |

| Dec 5, 2024 at 14:50 | comment | added | Marcus Müller | I’m voting to close this question because it's not about Linux or UNIX, but about a problem arising from the specific things the user did to their installation of software on Windows. | |
| Dec 5, 2024 at 14:44 | comment | added | Marcus Müller | you must have a really old python-gobject installed. I can't rule it out, but I'd be surprised if that's the one shipped with cygwin… anyways, this really is no UNIX/Linux problem. You cannot just "force" python versions for software written for other versions. That's not how that can work out. Clearly, whyever you did that, it's not the solution to your problem, so don't do that. | |
