I too am someone who has used GnuCash from the UI from several years, 
and is now starting to try using the Python bindings. I am on macOS 
rather than Linux. Since I am just starting out, maybe my help is just 
the blind leading the blind.

Suggestion 1: is the OS package python3-gnucash installed on your system?

Suggestion 2: what info about python3-gnucash does the apt system 
display (in the same way it displayed information about the package 
gnucash)?

Suggestion 3: did the package python3-gnucash install libraries for a 
specific version of Python, or for all versions of Python? (In my 
situation, using the MacPorts distribution on MacOS, the package gnucash 
installs the Python bindings specifically for Python 3.11, not for all 
versions.)

Do those answers shed any light for you?
