Hi,

kabikaboo depends on python-gtksourceview2, which is long deprecated
and going to be removed from the archive. kabikaboo should switch to
using the GObject Introspection bindings for gtksourceview,
gir1.2-gtksource-3.0.

This would mean switching to GObject Introspection for other bindings
as well, e.g. GLib and GTK+ 3.

For more information on GObject Introspection see [1] and [2].

Please try to do this before the Stretch release as we're going to
try to remove it this cycle.

If you have any question don't hesitate to ask.

Emilio
