Description of problem: As a follow up to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1169738 the Python plugins have apparently been part of the default upstream Kate release since some time in 2013: https://kate-editor.org/2013/02/18/new-plugins-to-the-kate-utils-to-python-javascript-django-and-xml/ However, of the plugins described there, only the XML ones appear in the Kate plugins menu on Fedora, and I can't find any documentation anywhere on what needs to be done to enable the others as a Fedora user, and "dnf search kate" doesn't provide any promising info either. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kate-16.08.2-1.fc24.x86_64 kate-plugins-16.08.2-1.fc24.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run Kate 2. Open Settings->Configure Kate 3. Go to the "Plugins" section Actual results: No Python plugins listed Expected results: Python plugins are listed and can be enabled Additional info: I get the same problem building Kate from source with the default instructions at https://kate-editor.org/build-it/#linux I also tried installing the Python level dependencies listed at the old Python module https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Kate-plugins page (with only pyplete and pyjslint needing to be installed as --user installs directly from PyPI) but that didn't make any visible difference in the behaviour of Kate (neither the system one nor my local build)
I finally managed to find a reference to the feature being removed upstream here: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=333941#c6 And it looks like support for any Python-based app extensions was gutted framework wide with the move to KF5: https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=289&t=124308
