terminator does not work

:~$ terminator 
You need to install the python bindings for gobject, gtk and pango to run Terminator.

I do have gobject, gtk and pango in my /opt tree

:~$ port installed |grep gobj
  py27-gobject @2.26.0_1 (active)
:~$ port installed |grep pang
  pango @1.28.4_0 (active)
:~$ port installed |grep gtk
  gtk-doc @1.17_0+python27 (active)
  gtk2 @2.24.4_0+x11 (active)
  py27-gtk @2.22.0_1 (active)

Fixed in r80839 by adding python variants to terminator, as was recently done to vte. You must ensure the python variant you select for terminator matches the python variant you selected for vte.

I do not believe this issue is fixed. I am having the same problem as originally described. I believe that I have the python27 versions of all the relevant packages installed.

Some investigation suggests that the python script that launches Terminator is failing to import gtk and pango. Attempting to import these in the python interpreter yields the following:

>>> import pango

Installing pango-devel through macports seemed to fix the import pango call (although this has some pretty hefty dependencies - not sure precisely which package was responsible for the actual fix). Installing atk and gdk-pixbuf2 fixed the call to import gtk. I suggest these 3 packages are added to the dependencies of terminator.
