[Stojan Dimitrovski <s.dimitrovski@xxxxxxxxx>]

Just a side note, as I have gone to determine why the plugins won't
activate, I discovered that running "python2.7 -c "from gi.repository
import Gedit" fails, but running "python3 -c "from gi.repository import
Gedit" doesn't. I am assuming it could be the way libpeas/gedit is
linked to Python, and/or the version of the interpreter that it loads. I
can also see that gedit depends on python 2.7.

When I try to activate the "Bracket Completion" plugin, gedit outputs this:
(gedit:25444): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_accel_label_set_accel_closure: assertion `gtk_accel_group_from_accel_closure (accel_closure) != NULL' failed

(gedit:25444): libpeas-WARNING **: Error initializing Python
interpreter: could not import gi

(gedit:25444): libpeas-WARNING **: Please check the installation of all
the Python related packages required by libpeas and try again

(gedit:25444): libpeas-WARNING **: Cannot load Python plugin
'bracketcompletion' since libpeas was not able to initialize the Python
interpreter

(gedit:25444): libpeas-WARNING **: Error loading plugin
'bracketcompletion'


This could mean that the python "gi" module is probably written for python 3, but not python 2.7. 

Hope this helps.

Bug description:
  I updated to Ubuntu 11.10 Beta 1, and I can no longer enable gedit
  plugins written in Python. When I go to "Edit > Preferences > Plugins"
  and I try to enable such a plugin, the checkbox is greyed out. Here's
  the output on a terminal when I try to enable Snippets:

  (gedit:19196): libpeas-WARNING **: Error initializing Python interpreter: could not import gi
  (gedit:19196): libpeas-WARNING **: Please check the installation of all the Python related packages required by libpeas and try again
  (gedit:19196): libpeas-WARNING **: Cannot load Python plugin 'snippets' since libpeas was not able to initialize the Python interpreter
  (gedit:19196): libpeas-WARNING **: Error loading plugin 'snippets'

  I didn't have this bug with Ubuntu 11.10 Alpha 3.
