Public bug reported: The Gedit package recommends python-gnome2-desktop. However, at least the modelines, snippets and external tools python plugins, shipped by default in that package, require pygtksourceview, which is included in python-gnome2-desktop. Without it, those plugins will show up but won't be activable.
Here's the output from gedit when run without python-gnome2-desktop, when trying to activate one of these plugins: ImportError: could not import gtksourceview Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/gedit-2/plugins/modelines.py", line 24, in ? class ModelinePlugin(gedit.Plugin): AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'Plugin' (gedit:8223): WARNING **: Could not load python module modelines ** Affects: gedit (Ubuntu) Severity: Normal Priority: (none set) Status: Unconfirmed -- Gedit package should depend on python-gnome2-desktop https://launchpad.net/bugs/48698 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
