Bug Description

I'm using Kubuntu 16.04 and I have installer Kig (version: 4:15.12.3-0ubuntu1) from "universe".
Command 'lsb_release -rd' prints "Ubuntu 16.04 LTS".

In Kig's Help chapter "Chapter 5. Scripting" is written "...select Objects → Other → Python Script from the menubar". But I cant find such menu item (see screenshot). I'm using Kig v1.0; KDE frameworks 5.22.0.

It's seems package issue, see: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=363716

Thanks for taking your time to report this issue and help making Ubuntu better.

I can confirm that the option is missing in kig 4:15.12.3-0ubuntu2 on Ubuntu Yakkety. As mentioned in the upstream bug report this might have been disabled in packaging, but at a glance I didn't see how (or why).

From the changelog (http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/universe/k/kig/kig_15.12.3-0ubuntu2/changelog) I did find that there has been similar problems in the past, see bug 1111697 for details. At that point, libboost-python-dev was added as a build dependency to make the python support work. This build dependency seems to still be in place, though maybe additional steps are required now?
