Gnome Music Won't Start

With the recent upgrade to Gnome 3.18 Gnome Music no longer starts.  When I run it from the terminal I get this error:

[dobbie@dobbie-arch ~]$ gnome-music
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/gnome-music", line 16, in <module>
    import gi
  File "/usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/gi/__init__.py", line 42, in <module>
    from . import _gi
ImportError: cannot import name '_gi'

I am sure I have all the required dependencies, I have reinstalled and had a pretty extensive Google search with no luck.  Any one here have any ideas?

/usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/gi/__init__.py belongs to extra/python-gobject. Do you have it on your system?

Re: Gnome Music Won't Start

Yes I do.  I just read that there is a rebuild of python 3.5 that is still in staging, so I suppose when that is moved to testing I should be good to go.
