Where to get type library for Python GdkDrawable (GTK-3)

I cannot import GdkDrawable for GTK-3 (Python). It says the introspection type library is not found.
````
import gi
git.require_version("Gtk","3.0")
from gi.repository import GdkDrawable
````

introspection type lib not found

You're posting to the non-*NIX forum section, but your profile shows you're posting from Linux. So what is your OS?

Depending on the distro, the package name may be python3-gi (Debian-based) or python3-gobject (Fedora-based) or pygobject (Slackware-based) or something else.

This obviously should be gi.require_version("Gtk","3.0").

That package is already installed

From Migrating from GTK+ 2.x to GTK+ 3 on GNOME website:

GdkDrawable is gone
GdkDrawable has been removed in GTK+ 3, together with GdkPixmap and GdkImage.

Yes, I discovered that. @Shruggy, the link you provided will help me to discern what features are part of GTK2 and what ones are part of GTK3 only.
