GNOME Tweak Tool stopped working

The tweak tool was working before. However, it has stopped working now.

When I try to open Tweaks from the launch menu, the loading cursor spins for about 10 seconds then nothing happens.

When attempted from the terminal, this error pops up.

$ gnome-tweak-tool 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/gnome-tweak-tool", line 24, in <module>
    import gi
  File "/home/ebe/anaconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/gi/__init__.py", line 39
    print url
            ^
SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'. Did you mean print(t url)?

I tried searching all over the Internet to overcome this error but arrived with no solution that could solve this problem in Arch.

Could anyone please tell me how could I get the tweak tool to start working again?

Re: GNOME Tweak Tool stopped working

I have just disabled the sddm service and enabled the gdm service I was using before.

sudo systemctl disable sddm.service
sudo systemctl enable gdm.service

And restarted the computer, and the tweaks window suddenly started working again when I launch it! I'm not sure if this is a mere coincidence of something else happening.
I still get the error with the gnome-tweak-tool in the terminal, though.
