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.
