Kazam - import pygtk ImportError: No module named pygtk

Greetings,

I'm trying to run Kazam Screen caster but I get the following problems when I try to execute it:

[user@host bin]$ ./kazam

basically make kazam use python2 instead of python

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Re: Kazam - import pygtk ImportError: No module named pygtk

http://www.archlinux.org/news/python-is-now-python-3/

basically make kazam use python2 instead of python

Thanks for the reply,

"any program requiring 2.x needs to point to /usr/bin/python2 instead"

How do I make Kazam point to python2?

----- EDIT:
Should I edit the Kazam executable with a text editor:
and change: #!/usr/bin/env python
with #!/usr/bin/env python2

Is that what you mean?

Re: Kazam - import pygtk ImportError: No module named pygtk

So I edited the Kazam executable with a text editor and
I changed #!/usr/bin/env python
with #!/usr/bin/env python2

And I get the following errors now:

[user@host bin]$ ./kazam 
INFO:root:Running locally
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./kazam", line 69, in <module>
    from kazam.app import KazamApp
  File "/home/user/Downloads/kazam/kazam/app.py", line 38, in <module>
    from kazam.frontend.indicator import KazamIndicator
  File "/home/user/Downloads/kazam/kazam/frontend/indicator.py", line 28, in <module>
    import keybinder
ImportError: No module named keybinder

Re: Kazam - import pygtk ImportError: No module named pygtk

is there a directory named 'keybinder' in /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages or /usr/lib/python3.1/site-packages?

There is no directory named "keybinder" in neither directories.

Works fine now, turns out I needed to install: python-keybinder and python-keybinder is only available in the AUR. Why did ArchLinux put such an important package used by many apps in the AUR? It should be in the main repos. :roll-eyes
