Hello. I never try Slackware and tested only in *Ubuntu and Debian distrs.
But I can suppose, that you need SlackBuild pygobject3 package.

Thank you for your prompt response!

In addition to pygobject3, I recieved a trace basically requesting the
following items:

- mutagen
- pysetuptools
- pychardet

I thought I was really making progress, when finally I was met with this
last trace:

bash-4.2$ foobnix

I thought this meant I needed webkitgtk. However, webkit has a whole slew
of dependencies. So I installed the following:

- libwebp
- orc
- gstreamer1
- gst1-plugins-base
- webkitgtk

After installing the above, I went ahead and installed the slackbuild for
pywebkitgtk. Unfortunately this does not resolve the error and I still
recieve same trace/error as before:

ValueError: Namespace WebKit not available
