Python3 module equivalent for GtkSourceView2

Question

I'm attempting a port of the abandoned Gedit plugin codecompletion to Python 3.

In the original code a Python 2 package is called:

import gtksourceview2 as gsv

and it is then inherited by a class to, presumably, perform completion:

class JSONProvider(gobject.GObject, gsv.CompletionProvider):
    MARK_NAME = 'JSONProviderCompletionMark'

    def __init__(self, plugin):
        gobject.GObject.__init__(self)
        ...

I've never used GtkSourceView or its completion functionality, so it's unclear what the inheritance is fulfilling. What is the equivalent gtksourceview2 (or 3) module in Python 3?

The equivalent would be

from gi.repository import GtkSource

Thanks @ptomato. I'm giving it some time but your suggestion imports in Py3 and seems the accepted answer... thing is, why is this arcane knowledge? I could not find your straight-fwd answer via searchengine or SE - at all - at the time of posting. – venzen Jul 15 '16 at 12:26
[Here's](http://lazka.github.io/pgi-docs/index.html) the documentation; typing "gtksource" there should take you straight to it. I have no idea why it's so ungoogleable. – ptomato Jul 16 '16 at 05:42
