The replacement for python-vte is: Depends: python3-gi, gir1.2-vte-2.91 import gi gi.require_version('Vte', '2.91') from gi.repository import Vte as used by gdebi, terminator and virt-manager, among others. The Python API of gi.repository.Vte is auto-generated from its C API, and is likely to be quite similar to python-vte. S
