I don't seem to have that installed:

g1-70(12.3-S)[42] pkg info -o devel/py-gobject3
pkg: No package(s) matching devel/py-gobject3

I *do* have that installed:

g1-70(12.3-S)[43] pkg info -o graphics/graphene
graphene-1.10.8                graphics/graphene

(It was most recently installed Thu May  5 06:08:21 2022 PDT.)

It *has* been a while since gtk40 was last built/installed: Thu May  5
06:11:13 2022 PDT.

Sorry -- last time I did anything with jails (other than merely using
poudriere) was around Spring or Summer of 2005: I am way out of practice
on that.  If there's a doc that's reasonably well-customized for this
type of activity, I might be able to follow it, but I believe Spouse has
some expectations regarding how I spend my weekend time.

I could certainly try installing the missing devel/py-gobject3.

Peace,
