Comment (by devans@…):

 The solution in general is for applications that require vte to update to
 the latest vte API vte-2.90. Note in particular that the python bindings
 along with GTK+ 2.0 support were dropped by the upstream developers in vte
 version 0.29.  The current recommended approach for applications that
 desire to use vte via Python would be to use gobject-introspection and py-
 gobject3.  As far as I can tell, terminator is the only MacPorts port that
 requires the old vte Python bindings.

 Other ports that are currently broken due to reliance on outdated vte
 versions are:
  * gnome-mud (wants vte >= 0.11.00)
  * mlview (wants vte >= 0.11.12)
  * Terminal (dependency exo build fails due to outdated libnotify API
 issue, Terminal wants vte >= 0.17.1)

 Current stable vte API version is vte-2.90 >= 0.34.9 (with release of
 GNOME 3.12.0 on 3/26/2014, stable version will advance to 0.36.0).
