Previously in ansible-role-aiida, for debian:

for redhat:

For debian, according to https://askubuntu.com/a/1166300, you should be able to just install with the generic python3-, then copy the so files for the required python version, e.g.

cp /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gi/_gi_cairo.cpython-36m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gi/_gi_cairo.cpython-37m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so
cp /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gi/_gi.cpython-36m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gi/_gi.cpython-37m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so
cp /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/cairo/_cairo.cpython-36m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/cairo/_cairo.cpython-37m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so

(I tested this and it looks to work; import gi, cairo fails before copy and works after)

as with #5 this aslso ideally requires testing
