python: no module named struct

Ever since I performed an update (for x86_64, if that makes a difference) this afternoon, beryl-settings has failed to start for me. It always fails with this message:

Could not find platform dependent libraries <exec_prefix>
Consider setting $PYTHONHOME to <prefix>[:<exec_prefix>]
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/beryl-settings", line 12, in ?
import gettext
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/gettext.py", line 49, in ?
import locale, copy, os, re, struct, sys
ImportError: No module named struct

/usr/lib/python2.4/gettext.py belongs to the python package, so I'm supposing the breakage has something to do with that? Pacman says that I currently have python-2.4.4-1.1 installed.

I also have this problem after updating yesterday, and I'm also running Arch64. I get the exact same error when trying to run Listen. I checked the 32-bit python package for regular Arch, and it had the file struct.so, which the Arch64 package is missing. There is no struct.so or struct.py on my system, and I guess that's the file that is missing, so it seems like it was missed in the newest python-package.

A PKGBUILD for python-2.4.4-1.2 is now available via ABS. The only difference is that the patch introduced in 2.4.4-1.1 is not applied. That unbreaks the struct problem, and the comment in the PKGBUILD also suggests that it unbreaks quite a lot of other things.

Thank you!

When I try to run beryl-manager the next error occurs.

Could not find platform independent libraries <prefix>

You need to install the beryl-settings-bindings package. (It's called beryl-settings-bindings-svn in Arch's Unstable repository.)

I had it installed. I had to reinstall the following packets. Now everything works just fine.

Python
Pygtk
Gtk2
Pycairo

Arch Linux
