scrotpush: Upload screenshot to imgur and copy it's URL

I've been thinking about implementing something like this for ages now, so I took half an hour and hacked something quickly:

scrotpush(AUR Package)

What this small script does is take a screenshot, upload it to imgur, and copy it's URL into you clipboard (clipboard, NOT selection).

You can now paste it into any IM/game/whatever. Personally, I use it to quickly share screenshots when playing Eve Online (I've bind it to super+printscr using sxhkd), but honestly, it's got plenty of other uses.

Hopefully, someone else will use this!

Enjoy!

Maybe it's my system (I'm not on Arch) but I just get the error

Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "./scrotpush.py", line 12, in <module>
 import requests
 ImportError: No module named requests

Installed fine, but

$ scrotpush
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/scrotpush", line 9, in <module>
    import gtk.gdk
ImportError: No module named gtk.gdk
$ scrotpush -h
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/scrotpush", line 9, in <module>
    import gtk.gdk
ImportError: No module named gtk.gdk

This package depends on python2-requests. Check here for all the dependencies.

$ scrotpush

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/scrotpush", line 9, in <module>
    import gtk.gdk
ImportError: No module named gtk.gdk

Looks like I ommited a dependency, updated PKGBUILD (pygtk was missing).
