I used your script to install lirc - thanks. The main issue I found with lirc-
setup was the gi.require_version requirements. I needed to move them up to 
after the import gi but before the rest of the related imports.

So in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/python3.6/site-packages/lirc-setup/
mvc_control.py

import gi 
gi.require_version('Gtk', '3.0')

and in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/python3.6/site-packages/lirc-setup/
mvc_view.py

import gi 
gi.require_version('Gtk', '3.0') 
gi.require_version('Vte', '2.91')

After that it worked.

Thanks
