Indent guide plugin for gedit (python)

Question

See the indent guides? They're damn helpful when writing Python code. Any chance I could get something similar for gedit? I wouldn't mind having to write my own plugin, as long as it's in Python... So:

Is there a plugin for this which works with gedit?
If not, would it be possible to write one in Python.

To help you with your search, those are called "indent guides" or "indentation guides". HTH — nc3b, May 08 '10 at 16:19
:sigh: I guess I'll have to check the gedit repos and do something myself (in C, it doesn't appear possible in Python) — aviraldg, May 08 '10 at 16:30
look at gtksourceview documentation. You can do it in python: http://live.gnome.org/Gedit/PythonPluginHowTo Best solution -> ditch gedit, get geany :) — nc3b, May 08 '10 at 16:33
@trusktr No; I switched to Sublime Text 2. It's much better than Gedit. — aviraldg, Sep 29 '12 at 05:40
Wow, it looks very nice indeed. I never saw it before. It must be fairly new... — trusktr, Sep 29 '12 at 06:34
@trusktr Search for "Package Control", install it and check out some of the plugins; that's where its real power lies. — aviraldg, Sep 29 '12 at 06:41

There's a huge list of GEdit plugins here:

https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Gedit/Plugins

I haven't looked through them in a while, but I don't remember any implementing indentation guides. Many plugins are written in Python, so there are some good examples if you want to implement your own.
