GStreamer Issue

I am trying to install and run GStreamer on hassbian 59.2 with python 3.6.
Gstreamer never shows up as a media player. Looking at the logs I see the following error

Error while setting up platform gstreamer
Traceback (most recent call last):

    from . import _gi
ImportError: cannot import name '_gi'

I have set up the symbolic links properly for gi (I think).

Is there a known issue with GStreamer and python 3.6? If not, can anyone point to what I am doing wrong?

TIA

You ever got it to working? I just upgraded python to 3.6 and see the exact same issue.

No. I found it much easier to just use a Chromecast audio connected to cheap $10 speakers. That works well.
