Fails to run when GObject introspection data not installed #18

The GObject introspection libraries are needed only for programmers developing Gnome software. They should not be needed for running Gnome programs.

The ‘editorconfig_plugin.gedit’ module attempts to use GObject introspection:

from gi.repository import GObject, Gedit

This fails when the GObject introspection libraries are not present. This means the plug-in cannot run.

Every Python gedit plugin uses GObject introspection. You can see the minimal plugin template for yourself.

GI is required if you want to use Python plugins with gedit (or any other program that uses libpeas, e.g. Rhythmbox).
