Rapid Photo Downloader Issues

I recently installed the Rapid Photo Downloader package from AUR.  I saw the kaa-metadata
optional dependency and installed that.  When I opened the program it
was telling me that video functionality is disabled because I need
hachoir metadata and kaa metadata.  I installed hachoir-metadata.  I am
still unable to enable the Video Download feature in RPD.  When I run
from command line I get:

[cory@Revelations ~]$ rapid-photo-downloader -v
[INFO/MainProcess] Rapid Photo Downloader 0.4.1
[INFO/MainProcess] Using pyexiv2 0.3.0
[INFO/MainProcess] Using exiv2 0.21.1
[INFO/MainProcess] Video downloading functionality disabled.
To download videos, please install the hachoir metadata and kaa metadata
packages for python.
[INFO/MainProcess] No downloads have occurred so far today

I wanted to make sure that I had the
required metadatas installed properly.  I tested these in python. Here's
my output:

[cory@Revelations ~]$ python

>>> from kaa.metadata import parse
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named kaa.metadata
>>> quit()

It would appear that I don't have the two required metadata packages
installed, but when I search my system for them they are there:

[cory@Revelations ~]$ pacman -Q kaa-metadata
kaa-metadata 0.7.7-3
[cory@Revelations ~]$ pacman -Q hachoir-metadata
hachoir-metadata 1.3.3-1

Is there something simple that I'm missing?

Thanks in advance for any help that anybody can offer.

Re: Rapid Photo Downloader Issues

Try installing hachoir-parser. It worked for me. Also, RPD uses python2, not python 3, that's why your tests weren't working.
