Pluma 1.18.2 on MATE 17.10 updated Jan 13 2018

Attenpting to enable Python Console through Plugin menu. 

(pluma:26739): libpeas-WARNING **: Failed to load module 'pythonloader': 
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpeas-1.0/loaders/libpythonloader.so: cannot 
open shared object file: No such file or directory

(pluma:26739): libpeas-WARNING **: Could not load plugin loader 'python'

I installed gedit (Pluma is a fork of gedit) and found that gedit does not have this issue.

What am I missing?

It's a bit unintuitive, and you might want to report this on the Ubuntu MATE Forums as something to be fixed, but there are two packages to install to get the Python Console plugin to work (figured out with apt search libpeas for the first error and apt search pluma for the error I got after installing libpeas-1.0-python2loader):

sudo apt install libpeas-1.0-python2loader gir1.2-pluma-1.0

Now the plugin can be enabled. Click Edit > Preferences to bring up the dialog, go to the plugins tab and check the box next to Python Console

preferences>plugins

Then click View and toggle on Bottom pane. Voila.

Python console
