[SOLVED] Oblogout syntax error after system update

Hello,

I updated the system today and it seems it messed with Oblogout. When my menu entry didn't work I tried running it in the command prompt and got the following error:

File "/usr/bin/oblogout", line 55
  except getopt.error, msg:
                             ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

It seem to be pointing to the comma but I haven't got the slightest about syntax so I turn to the forum.

Thanks in advance,
Tomas

It's the python upgrade - see Arch news for details.

Please read the news regularly and particularly before a system update.

I did read the news but I still don't know what to do. For instance: "...any program requiring 2.x needs to point to /usr/bin/python2 instead..." tells me absolutely nothing..

I hope someone is willing to explain it a bit.
