"libpeas-WARNING **: Could not find loader 'python3' for plugin" when loading a pluging in gedit
I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 13.04 and I use gedit for a lot of things.
I was trying to install some plugins that I use quite frequently and I came into some issues.
First I installed the plugins like so:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3
sudo apt-get install gedit-plugins
I can see the plugins in gedit but when I choose to use a plugin via the edit>preferences>plugins menu this message shows up:
(gedit:6027): libpeas-WARNING **: Could not find loader 'python3' for plugin
'codecomment'
I know I have python3 installed because when I type python3 in my terminal I get:
Python 3.3.1 (default, Apr 17 2013, 22:32:14)
[GCC 4.7.3] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>
I also have python 2.7.4, by similar terminal command.
If anyone can help me get these plugins up and running in gedit I would appreciate it very much.
I had the same issue with Ubuntu 12.04 and Gedit 3.4.1, but with a different plug-in.
This is how I resolved it: Find the file [plugin-name]*.plugin
in gedit's plugin directory and edit the line Loader=python3
to Loader=python
My gedit plugin-dir was under /usr/lib/gedit/plugins/
if it helps.
