How to start Pytyle2 in updated Arch?

Hi there.
I'm in luv with Arch linux.

But I'm in big trouble with attempts to start Pytyle2 in Arch.

 ~ openbox --version                                                            
Openbox 3.6.1

~ python2 -V                                                                                                                        
Python 2.7.11

 ~ pytyle2

    return self._get_property('_NET_CURRENT_DESKTOP')[0]
TypeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute '__getitem__'

Also tried installation and launching with python2.6.

Pytyle2 throw same error.

Openbox + pytyle2 worked flawless on prevision setup (mint-cinnamon 17.3 / python 2.7).
Have almost same trouble with terminal "Terra".. But it is not such a big deal for me.
I think something with python version, or some tweaky python package didn't list in deps?...

Any advice will be appreciated.
Thanks

What is in the output of head -1 $(which pytyle2)
?
Is it something like #! /usr/bin/python
?

Try running using the command python2 pytle2

$ head -1 $(which pytyle2)
#!/usr/bin/python2.7

I have tried. As you can see it is same python.

Seems some of new updates bring this issue.
Other users recreate this error on different WMs (example 1 , example 2)

Yeah, based on that output, I would not expect it to work any differently. The script seems to be set up properly to invoke Python 2.

Arch Linux
