gedit 3 regex search replace plugin port

Question

So i have been trying to install gEdit Regular Expression Plugin in gEdit 3.2.1 but there seem to be some issues. I have modified the .plugin file and now it shows up in the list of plugins. But when i try to select the plugin from the list, gEdit closes. So i noticed that the plugin import modules from GTK+2 so i tried changing them to the GTK+3 equivalents. Also a lot of the built in plugins code look slightly different than this plugin. After making changes to _init_.py, when i click on the plugin from the list of plugins that is in the list, a error icon shows up next to the plugin name and it gets greyed out. Has anyone been able to port this plugin?

Answer 1

I have created a fork from this plugin some time ago, and now I ported it to Gedit 3. It is versioned / distributed here.
