terminator file drag question

Hi,

I frequently input path/file locations into my terminal emulators by dragging the file from my file manager into the terminal. For example:

cat <drag folder or file here>

I have discovered that I am unable to do this with terminator, which I prefer to use for most tasks.

To troubleshoot, I started terminator from another terminal emulator and watched its output when I attempted to drag a file into terminator. I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/terminatorlib/terminal.py", line 1113, in on_drag_data_received
    term.feed(txt)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/terminatorlib/terminal.py", line 1507, in feed
    self.vte.feed_child(text, len(text))
TypeError: Vte.Terminal.feed_child() takes exactly 2 arguments (3 given)

Do I have a configuration problem or does terminator not have this functionality?
