Virtualbox and python related programs

Hello
since the switch to python3 some program still remain not fixed.
I think one of those is from virtualbox package. Specially vidautomount which states

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/vdautomount", line 122, in <module>
    main (sys.argv[1:])
  File "/usr/bin/vdautomount", line 55, in main
    vbm = VirtualBoxManager (None, None)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/vboxapi/__init__.py", line 504, in __init__
    exec "self.platform = Platform"+style+"(platparams)"
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/vboxapi/__init__.py", line 352, in __init__
    import xpcom.vboxxpcom
  File "/opt/VirtualBox/sdk/bindings/xpcom/python/xpcom/vboxxpcom.py", line 47, in <module>
    raise Exception, "Cannot find VBoxPython module"
Exception: Cannot find VBoxPython module

Seems it miss to find some module along the path
I don't think the Vbox developer are aware of this, but this an Arch issue, though.

Re: Virtualbox and python related programs

Are you using virtualbox_bin or virtualbox-ose. If you are using the bin version, then you should report this on the aur page:

Re: Virtualbox and python related programs

Actually, you need to have a separate account for AUR. Only then, can you post comments.
