My system failed to import gi.repository
But don't bother I won't install anything anyway.
If it is not listed in your dependencies, maybe you should add it.

You could also display the frequency of A2 (possibly 440Hz), would give 
a pro touch to the thing :D

As for python, why don't use use 'pylint' on it. It is one good way to 
know about your code. It's not about correcting any error reported, but 
by simply looking at the messages/warnings, and asking yourself "why 
that rule ?" you can improve your coding style and design, maybe for the 
next application.
