[SOLVED] Plasma - Variety crashes on start

KDE Plasma 5.3

When I try to run variety, it crashes and spits out:

 ~  variety
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/variety", line 39, in <module>
    import variety
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/variety/__init__.py", line 105, in <module>
    from gi.repository import Gtk, Gdk, GObject # pylint: disable=E0611
ImportError: cannot import name Gtk

I reported it to launchpad and the developer told me it's a installation error.   He also said it wouldn't work on Plasma anyhow.  But, me being the dumb guy that I am, I would like to try anyways.  Anyone know what package or setting I'm missing?  I tried installing pygtk, but that did not fix it.

I reinstalled all of the dependencies and got a little further

Re: [SOLVED] Plasma - Variety crashes on start

I re-installed libsoup and got variety to start.
