[Pkg-ime-devel] Bug#769560: ibus-sunpinyin: Preferences tab not working

[Bai Shi]

Package: ibus-sunpinyin
Version: 2.0.3-5+b1
Severity: important
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer,

Preferences button under Input Method doesn't work. Run /usr/lib/ibus/ibus-
setup-sunpinyin directly from command line showed below error.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share//ibus-sunpinyin/setup/main.py", line 42, in <module>
    import ibus

Since there is no long python-ibus package in Jessie, is there any recommended
way to fix this?

My workaround is to download ibus myself, configure with --enable-python and
compile. Export PYTHONPATH to the compiled folder and the setup worked without
flaw.

This is an important issue because the default setup of sunpinyin set page flip
to be PageUp and PageDown which is very user unfriendly. User's hand need to be
moved away from regular position from time to time. The common convention is
-/= nowadays. Could you as well make -/= as the default page flip setting?

Regards,
Bai Shi
