I was able to make the python script work by editing the following file:

/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/indicator_cpufreq/indicator.py

... and adding the following lines just below the comments that end on line 17:

import gi
gi.require_version("Gtk", "3.0")
gi.require_version('AppIndicator3', '0.1')

I also encountered this issue, Ubuntu 21.10. Workaround proposed by Mario Di Nicola (warp99) worked for me as well (editing the python script to import GTK 3.0).

After making the suggested modification to indicator.py, it did fix the initial issue, but I'm seeing an additional error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/indicator-cpufreq", line 79, in <module>
    ind = MyIndicator(options.show_frequency)
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/indicator_cpufreq/indicator.py", line 101, in __init__
    self.update_ui()

    self.select_items[freq].set_active(True)
KeyError: 849165

I found someone else posting about the same additional error here, but no solution: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1092904/ubuntu-18-04-unable-to-run-indicator-cpufreq

On AMD's, enable “Cool n Quiet” in the BIOS.

Hey. I came here with the same problem. After changing the "indicator.py" file it didn't work.
Searching more I found a forum on the internet with a solution that worked for me.

My processor is AMD and in the BIOS the “Cool n Quiet” option was disabled and the error was exactly the same. I'm a beginner programmer and I don't program in python, but what I understand is that it can't get the frequency values, generating the error.

It would be interesting to have a check or a warning to check/enable the “Cool n Quiet” option for AMD's devices.

Sorry for my beginner english.
