I just updated compiz, compil-plugins-main, ccsm etc. and ccsm (Compizconfig settings manager) just dont start.
[broi@broi-Archlinux ~]$ ccsm
Info: No sexy-python package found, don't worry it's optional.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/ccsm", line 99, in <module>
import compizconfig
ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/compizconfig.so: undefined symbol: ccsImportFromFile
[broi@broi-Archlinux ~]$
I tried with "python2" or "python3" before I type a .py command (which worked in some issues) but in this one it dont help.
When I try with python 3 -> "python3 /usr/bin/ccsm" I get:
[broi@broi-Archlinux ~]$ python3 /usr/bin/ccsm
File "/usr/bin/ccsm", line 45
if dbus.version < (0, 80, 0):
^
TabError: inconsistent use of tabs and spaces in indentation
[broi@broi-Archlinux ~]$
Thanks.
Solution: Rebuilt the compizconfig-python
UPDATE: Just run update and you will get fixed compizconfig-python.

I'm having the same problem here. Fusion-icon gives a similar error and doesn't start, too:
Traceback (most recent call last):

Same problem after pacman -Syu (using XFCE).
Not only compiz won't start, my mouse cursor is gone until I open some windows. The window decorations have disappeared (minimize, maximize, close). This is even after removing the fusion-icon from autostart in XFCE and rebooting (afaict, compiz is not running as a process when I list running processes with ps -ef). Also having difficulty switching focus between open windows.

Untill you fix this problem, you can use other WM instead of compiz so u can atlast move cursor, have decorations etc. for instance install openbox and type in terminal "openbox --replace", or xfwm4 --replace

To fix this, downgrade compizconfig-python to an older version.

Guys, how can downgrading be a fix? I'd be glad if someone could look into a real fix; because all I did was a simple rebuild.

Well, something must go wrong

What libraries were changed to make the rebuild necessary?

Just in case,
compizconfig-python-0.8.4-2-i686.pkg.tar.xz
compizconfig-python-0.8.4-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

That's what puzzles me. If it works - perfectly - with the previous build, what's the new one for? I'm not flaming; it just doesn't look like it was necessary to rebuild all the packages.

It was one of the last packages that were not signed. But if rebuilding it results in a broken package it was a ticking time bomb anyway. So we either get this working or it has to be removed from the repo. I don't see any other options.

Here is a relevant bug report: FS#29041

I spoke with the compiz guys on IRC, and they suggested a build issue. So I rebuilt the compizconfig-python package myself from ABS and it solved the problem. Pierre, could you do a rebuild again, maybe there was a problem with the build.
Can someone confirm that an ABS rebuild solves the issue?
UPDATE: reading the comments below, I updated the bug report.

Yes, a rebuild solved the problem for me too!
Offline
I guess this thread should be marked as solved, even I couldnt rebuild with abs with some another reason:
[broi@broi-Archlinux compizconfig-python]$ makepkg -s
==> ERROR: You do not have write permission to create packages in /home/broi/abs/compizconfig-python.
Aborting...
Lol
Anyway, this is solved.

Use pbget, it is much easier to muck with that than to sync the whole ABS tree.
pbget --abs --dir=~/abs/ compizconfig-python

It's fixed in Official repo so if you didnt rebuilt it, you can just update your system
Offline
The problem were missing dependencies. The build system was fine. Note that we don't use plain makepkg to build but a wrapper that sets up a clean environment before.

I see. Thank you Pierre!
