Budgie applets made with python can't be added to the panel

After a recent Arch update, I noticed that one of my Budgie panel applets was missing. Upon investigation, I found that applets created with Python are not working. It turns out that the python3loader module is missing in libpeas 1.36.0-7, which budgie-panel relies on.
The module is available in libpeas-2, but budgie-panel does not use it.

(budgie-panel:52670): libpeas-WARNING **: 22:39:57.229: Failed to load module 'python3loader': /usr/lib/libpeas-1.0/loaders/libpython3loader.so: не вдалося відкрити файл об’єктів спільного використання: Немає такого файла або каталогу

Re: Budgie applets made with python can't be added to the panel

Hi, I have the same issue. Plugins for rhythmbox are not working after a recent Arch update:

(rhythmbox:5920): libpeas-WARNING **: 11:50:50.960: Failed to load module 'python3loader': /usr/lib/libpeas-1.0/loaders/libpython3loader.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I have tried reinstalling python-gobject, libpeas and rhythmbox but it did not help. I have these versons:

python-gobject 3.52.3-3
libpeas 1.36.0-7
rhythmbox 3.4.8-2

As San4itos has mentioned, there is a pythonloader in libpeas-2, but not in libpeas-1.0. Is there any way to fix this or any additional info that I can provide?

Re: Budgie applets made with python can't be added to the panel

Thanks!! Ok, this means that

pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/python-gobject-3.50.0-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/libpeas-1.36.0-6-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

temporarily fixes the issue :-)

Thanks for the link. Since I use only one old system monitor plugin that doesn't work, I think I'll just write smth similar in Vala with the help of GPT.
