On Kubuntu 14.04 I'd like to use a Python plugin called Pâté in Kate. It's listed as a plugin there.

enter image description here

But then it shows an error in the configuration dialogue. enter image description here

The help page is not useful at all. Perhaps I have to install some packages (pysmell?), but this is just a guess. How do I get this Python plugin to work?

When you start kate from the terminal, you'll get the exact package you need to install. Open a terminal and type

kate

and then check what error messages or stack trace it outputs as ImportErrors and then install the packages. I guest you need to install python-kde4 and python-jedi (just a guess since I had done this long before).

See if

 sudo apt-get install python-kde4 python-jedi

solves this error. Also check if this answer helps.

  • Thanks. Any idea how to get the autocompletion to work? I'm getting the error jedi: Unexpected module's version format. when hovering over the red colored listed Python Autocompletion plugin.

  • @gertvdijk: Did you have a look at this: pypi.python.org/pypi/Kate-plugins#autocomplete-python? It is not related to the error it gives, so not sure whether it will solve it.
