Bug#734251: totem-plugins: Opensubtitles plugin: cannot be activated in totem 3.8

[Bertrand Marc]

Package: totem-plugins
Version: 3.8.2-3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

The opensubtitles plugin cannot be activated or loaded in totem 3.8. It is activated on my configuration, so I get the following messages every time I launch totem:

(totem:14822): libpeas-WARNING **: Error initializing Python Plugin Loader: PyGObject initialization failed
ImportError: could not import gobject (could not find _PyGObject_API object)

(totem:14822): libpeas-WARNING **: Please check the installation of all the Python related packages required by libpeas and try again

(totem:14822): libpeas-WARNING **: Loader 'python' is not a valid PeasPluginLoader instance

(totem:14822): libpeas-WARNING **: Could not find loader 'python' for plugin 'opensubtitles'

And if I check manually the plugin list in Edit>plugins, the plugin has a little red sign and cannot be activated.

It seems this totem 3.8 uses python3, while the plugin is written in python 2. It seems a port for Python 3 was done upstream [1].

Regards,
Bertrand Marc
