i believe that 'pygobject' is the python3 equivalent to 'pygtk'
+ 'python2-gobject2'; so it is probably not interesting yet

h-client works on parabola, which is a rolling distro with the
most up-to-date software available - you should not need to use
pip, in order to compile or install h-client - any missing
dependencies can probably be found in your distro repos for a
previous release - the dependencies themselves, probably have no
further dependencies, and should not conflict with any python3
packages

on parabola those are:
* pygtk
* libglade
* python2-cairo
* python2-gobject2

which distro are you trying to install it on?

i would not worry about h-client for now - it is in pretty good
shape - if it is really a problem for any FSDG distro, i will
fix it somehow - maintaining the client is the main reason why i
joined the project

the only high-priority issue for this project is getting the
published server code in sync with the running service
