[solved] scribes 0.4 - Word Completion Broken

I have installed the newest version of the scribes editor found in [community]. While it installs without problem, I noticed that word completion does not appear to be working. When run from the command line I see this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/scribes/GenericPlugins/WordCompletion/SuggestionProcess/ScribesWordCompletionSuggestionGenerator.py", line 5, in <module>
    from SCRIBES.Utils import fork_process
ImportError: No module named SCRIBES.Utils
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/scribes/GenericPlugins/RecentOpen/ExternalProcess/ScribesRecentFilesIndexer.py", line 8, in <module>
    from gobject import MainLoop, threads_init
ImportError: No module named gobject
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/scribes/GenericPlugins/WordCompletion/IndexerProcess/ScribesWordCompletionIndexer.py", line 3, in <module>
    from SCRIBES.Utils import fork_process
ImportError: No module named SCRIBES.Utils

And idea what the problem might be?

Re: [solved] scribes 0.4 - Word Completion Broken

I've just been attacked with exactly the same console output after running scribes, and after some investigation it seems like some parts of scribes are being run using python3 instead of python2.
E.g. /usr/lib/scribes/GenericPlugins/RecentOpen/ExternalProcess/ScribesRecentFilesIndexer.py is being run with python3 (/usr/bin/python instead of /usr/bin/python2), and the gobject module doesn't exist for python3 yet (there is something in testing though).

Any idea how to force scribes to use proper version of python? I'd much appreciate any solution different than "ln -sf /usr/bin/python2 /usr/bin/python" ;)

EDIT:
I managed to overcome the problem. Just patch the sources with this:
