After using the Plugin Manager to set the Python 3.x path (the 'Auto' button set the path to /usr/bin/python3 for me) the plugin then passed all tests with flying colors! Yay! Full Sigil ... plugin support (with all the recommended extra python modules) ... no compiling, no pipping.

On a completely unrelated note ... I'd forgotten how badly I hate Ubuntu's Unity interface.
That's definitely not the error message I got. FWIW I have both python2.7 and python3.5 installed, and Sigil did have paths showing in the plugin manager panel (I didn't look to see if they were the correct paths, however, though I have no reason to suspect they weren't).

All of the plugins I tried, including Flight Crew 0.9.1, epubcheck 0.3.6, AddIDs 0.3, kindleimport 0.80.5, and the testplugin 0.1.2 failed in the same way with the same message.

So it's still possible that there is something uniquely FUBAR about my system, and the error(s) that DiapDealer and signum are getting are not the same as what I'm seeing.

Now I'm tempted to remove the Sigil I built from source, and re-install the repo version so I can take a closer look.

Somebody stop me!

ETA: Too late. I did it. Hopefully there are 2 screenshots attached, showing (1) the PI manager window (with correct paths for Py-2.7 and Py-3.5 as automatically found by sigil, as well as the installed plugins that "don't exist" and (2) the error message itself. Not what Diap described.

Code:
$ which python2
/usr/bin/python2

$ which python3
/usr/bin/python3

$ cat /etc/os-release
