Hi Dietmar, it's great to see packagers picking up pygtksourceview!

You don't say but I assume you're using 0.9.4.1 which supports the now
obsolete pysourceview module. I've been meaning to make a release for
some time now which supports the new pygtksourceview module.

Can you try the cvs version? Get branch-0_9 - it supports
pygtksourceview and pysourceview (in that order) and it's extremely
close to what will be released as 0.9.5.

Or you could change the "import sourceview" lines in meldapp.py and
filediff.py to "import gtksourceview as sourceview". Not 100% sure that
will work though.

Thanks.
Stephen.

PS. I've cc'ed meld-list. It would be great if you could follow up
there.
