[SOLVED] cinnamon-settings doesn't load with python2-pexpect 4.0.1-1

Specifically, I get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/cinnamon-settings/cinnamon-settings.py", line 38, in <module>
    modules = map(__import__, mod_files)
  File "/usr/lib/cinnamon-settings/modules/cs_user.py", line 9, in <module>
    import pexpect
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pexpect/__init__.py", line 75, in <module>
    from .pty_spawn import spawn, spawnu
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pexpect/pty_spawn.py", line 11, in <module>
    import ptyprocess
ImportError: No module named ptyprocess

Downgrading to 3.3-2 fixed it again.

/u/thomasamadeusking's comment on reddit solved the problem for me: Just install python2-ptyprocess, and python2-pexpect 4.0.1-1 will work again.
