[solved] purple-remote should use python 2
Right now, when I run the command purple-remote, I get the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/purple-remote", line 29, in <module>
purple = dbus.Interface(obj, "im.pidgin.purple.PurpleInterface")
AttributeError: module 'dbus' has no attribute 'Interface'And when I run python2 /usr/bin/purple-remote, I get no such error. Therefore, I conclude that purple-remote requires python 2 to run, rather than python 3. I would like to submit this as a bug for the package, that it should have a patch changing it to run python 2 by default, but I would like some input as to whether I am missing something. Thanks.

Do you have python-dbus installed?

Ho ho, indeed this was the error. Thanks for that. Should that be an optional dependency for libpurple, then?
