Bug Description

Recently, the "gmenu" python bindings have been removed from Debian (I haven't checked the Ubuntu situation). It might be possible to use the "matemenu" module from the "python-mate-menu" package instead, but simply replacing "import gmenu" with "import matemenu as gmenu" doesn't seem to suffice.

Since its removal from Debian, python-gmenu will be removed from Ubuntu too (probably in wily+1).
It may be possible to migrate to python-gi + gir1.2-gmenu-3.0.

I have considered packaging classicmenu-indicator for Debian, but LP: #1289801 and LP: #1374557 are blockers for me.

Actually, I'm not sure what LP: #1374557 is trying to say.

LP: #1289801 and LP: #1315939 are blockers for me.

More info on the python-gmenu (src:gnome-menus2) removal in https://bugs.debian.org/784581

"please remove gnome-menus2 from the archive.
It's unmaintained and dead upstream. All reverse dependencies have been
updated to use gnome-menus."

I'm currently porting classicmenu-indicator to Python3, Gtk3 and PyGObject. v0.10 will not use python-gmenu any more.
