Nautilus : python extension package compatibility issue (Ubuntu 14.04)? - Ask Ubuntu

i tried install several python nautilus extensions (i.e. nautilus-columns, nautilus-open-as-root,... ) without success. installation goes fine, nothing shows in nautilus.

of course, package python-nautilus installed:

ii  python-nautilus                                             1.1-8                                               amd64        python binding nautilus components 

digging little bit, discovered nautilus complaining when starting:

importerror: not import gobject (could not find _pygobject_api object) (nautilus:18199): nautilus-python-warning **: pygobject initialization failed (nautilus:18199): nautilus-python-warning **: nautilus_python_init_python failed 

looks issue gobject library or that.

as i'm running ubuntu 14.04.5 python upgraded, may issue there ? here extract of packages available on distribution:

what made me question python version / gobject / v2.7 , v3.4, python-nautilus readme file says:

libautilus-extension python bindings ====================================  these unstable bindings nautilus extension library introduced in gnome 2.6.  examples , documentation check examples sub directory.  of nautilus-python 0.7.0, scripts loaded $xdg_data_dir/nautilus-python/extensions, includes ~/.local/share , /usr/share (or whatever $xdg_data_dir  set to).  try copy test.py directory example  requirements ============  nautilus  2.32.0 python    2.3 pygobject 2.28.0  problems ======== it's not possible reload python file without restarting nautilus. that's planned feature future versions 

=> looks old, isn't ?

latest version of package seems 0.7.3 (2011-03-08). explain compatibility issues python 3.4 ? (link project log)

if yes, how can proceed able use python extensions nautilus anyway ? there package install ? or can modify in 1 ?

any suggestion ?

thanks !
