I am using Fedora release 35 and when I try to run Kazam I am getting the following:

$ kazam --debug

Thank you @niknah
I did what it was commented in the Gentoo forum, changing line 32 in /usr/local/bin/kazam from

from gi.repository import Gtk

to

import gi
gi.require_version('Gtk', '3.0')
from gi.repository import Gtk

it actually solved the PyGIWarning problem, but I am still getting "WARNING Kazam - Failed to correctly detect operating system."

That's a warning the error is
ValueError: Invalid section name: 'DEFAULT'

Remove the ~/.config/kazam/kazam.conf

Or try my fork https://github.com/niknah/kazam

Thank you @niknah
Removing the file did not work, but your fork is working! ;)

One detail... the

pip3 install Xlib Pycairo PyGObject

is returning an error, my solution was installing the fedora packages manually:

sudo dnf install python3-xlib pygobject2-devel pygobject2 cairo-devel pkg-config python3-devel

afterwards I was able to start the app via

bash bin/run_local_dev.sh

;)
