I am running on following Gentoo system with Python 3.5 as default (although i have 2.7 and 3.4 available to switch as well).
I compiled from source code via github: commit 15cb9fc35b41736a331a452b9303a79e8f13ee36 (HEAD -> master, origin/master, origin/HEAD) The error appears when I want to click on Save while adding new server to the list, I put few lines into the code to detect the times: 2017-06-27 13:21:48,329: DEBUG pgadmin: Not running under the desktop runtime, port: 5050 Starting pgAdmin 4.

Not sure what is better, but now it works.
