I noticed this last week. All my code on ubuntu 15.04 was working fine using

Update: This answer is now deprecated. Please see the answer by @Maximus instead.
The function call for the C API has been renamed from
vte_terminal_fork_command_full ()
to
vte_terminal_spawn_sync ()
since VTE 0.38.
As a result, the corresponding Python function has been renamed from fork_command_full()
to spawn_sync()
.
The function has been renamed from
vte_terminal_spawn_sync()
to
vte_terminal_spawn_async()
Since version VTE 0.48
