I am trying to us the app rednotebook. When launched from the terminal, I get this error:

Adding /usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages to sys.path

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

I don't know about the first error, but the second is caused by your user installation trying to use cefpython3 (chromium based), which does not allow any python newer than 3.7.

Just use rednotebook from community repository. That should work, since It uses webkit2gtk.

I am using the one from community. but now I get this error:

Starting RedNotebook from the source directory
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/rednotebook", line 9, in <module>
    journal.main()
AttributeError: module 'journal' has no attribute 'main'

Same here. First error (first part) I solved with

pip install journal

second is the one above about "main".
Full upgraded before.

I'm slowly learning that pip packages are often the way to go.

I often use it with virtual environments. My advise on an Arch system, if you are going to use pip -- NEVER use it for system wide installation. Always use --user mode.

For me it isn't solved, still here:

AttributeError: module 'journal' has no attribute 'main'

My advise on an Arch system, if you are going to use pip -- NEVER use it for system wide installation. Always use --user mode.

learned that the hard way when I had to manually remove a lot of system-wide pip packages before I could install certain pacman/AUR packages that needed to install those same dependencies on their own. thanks.
