I'm on 12.1-RELEASE-p8. Installed pitivi via the official pkg repo.

I wanted to try out pitivi since I'm (again) evaluating FOSS video editing
solutions. It currently doesn't even manage to start due to the "modern" GTK
bindings for python being what I can only describe as an eldritch horror that
should be cast out with fire.

Traceback is as follows:

~ $ pitivi

I won't even try to make sense of any of this because I value my sanity.
Still, I'd be thankful if anyone more versed in it would give fixing this a
shot.

Special fun fact: Doing `cd /usr/local/lib/pitivi/python`, popping open a
python REPL and doing `from pitivi import check; check.initialize_modules()`
*doesn't* fail.
