Thanks!  But I seem to have that installed:

g1-70(12.3-S)[20] pkg info -o \*-gi-\*
py39-gi-docgen-2022.1          textproc/py-gi-docgen

Hmmm... Well:

g1-70(12.3-S)[21] pkg info -o pyth\*
python-3.9_3,2                 lang/python
python3-3_3                    lang/python3
python39-3.9.13                lang/python39

And:

g1-70(12.3-S)[34] ls -lT /usr/local/bin/python{,3{,.9}}
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel     7 Sep 11 08:04:00 2022 /usr/local/bin/python -> python3
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel     9 Sep 11 08:04:00 2022 /usr/local/bin/python3 -> python3.9
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  5256 Sep 11 07:58:02 2022 /usr/local/bin/python3.9

Re-building/installing textproc/py-gi-docgen was (also) successful in
and of itself, but a subsequent attempt to build x11-toolkits/gtk40
still failed with the same whine about "Program python3 (gi) found: NO".

Weird.

Peace,
david
