Bug Description

Binary package hint: gedit-plugins

I've noticed that these plugins are not selectable in the Preferences/Plugins tab, and this problem has also been reported here:

http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=362089

At first glance, this would appear to be a fault of the amd64 version, though that may just be a coincidence.

I reckon this is another 64bit/python2.5 bug.

I have the same problem but with edgy i386
I cannot load plugin like "bracket completion" 'External Tools' 'Python Console' and 'Snippets'

this is what I get running gedit from terminal and trying to turn on for example the
bracket plugin:

$gedit
ImportError: could not import gtksourceview
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/gedit-2/plugins/bracketcompletion.py", line 206, in ?
    class BracketCompletionPlugin(gedit.Plugin):
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'Plugin'

** (gedit:5800): WARNING **: Could not load python module bracketcompletion

** (gedit:5800): WARNING **: Error, impossible to activate plugin 'Bracket Completion'
sys:1: Warning: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed

I tried to --purge remove everything in gedit and python packages, but I still have the same problem
