[SOLVED] Dropbox and pygtk

I have installed Dropbox from the AUR. Everything has gone well until I tried to start dropbox. It then says:

Starting Dropbox...
The Dropbox daemon is not installed!
Run "dropbox start -i" to install the daemon"

When I run "dropbox start -i", I get: (I actually run "dropbox-cli start -i," but before I installed dropbox-cli I was having the same problems with the dropbox command:)

Starting Dropbox...Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/dropbox-cli", line 1259, in start
     download()
File "/usr/bin/dropbox-cli", line 280, in download
     import pygtk
ImportError: No module named pygtk

From what I've read, this is due to the program expecting python or python2, but  since I have python3 installed, then python links to python3. And pygtk doesn't exist in python3.

This might or might not be the problem. Regardless, I cannot figure out how to fix this problem.

EDIT: I found an article describing what to install and in what order to fix this.

Re: [SOLVED] Dropbox and pygtk

I should have asked at the end:

Does anyone know how I can fix this so that I can properly install and run the dropbox daemon?
