Comment 6 Patrick 2018-03-29 21:50:14 UTC 
I see this is status closed errata. That's a mistake. I'm on fedora 27 with the version out of updates, 3.26.4 and gnome-tweak-tool fails trying to import the python module gi. If that succeeded it would fail on the import of gtweak. Please be more careful when closing tickets:)
Comment 7 Patrick 2018-03-29 21:57:52 UTC 
A workaround, is to replace the first line of gnome-tweak-tool

 #!/usr/bin/env python3

with

 #!/usr/bin/python3

If yours says python that's ok too.
For some reason env isn't finding the right python. Does that mean that the error is in env and not in gnome-tweak-tool?
