@Squiffy: Had the same problem, it's not your machine.

As thenaterhood speculated, it's a problem with cached builds. Doing a clean install (yay will ask for it when doing yay -S gscreenshot) fixes the problem.

That's odd, I tried the same and still have the issue.

If no other are reporting the issue I'll accept it may just be my machine. Thanks for looking into it!

edit: this time I reinstalled gscreenshot without uninstalling first and it worked, thanks for making me tripple check!

Squiffy: I updated my Python and ran into the error you're seeing. Reinstalling gscreenshot fixed it for me.

Acknowledged! I'll look into it. Thanks for the report, Squiffy!

It's working now, thanks!

I made a minor change which I'm hoping will prevent Python from caching builds, which I suspect might be the problem. After doing a build from scratch I stopped seeing the problem. Give it a shot.

AlexWayfer commented on 2018-09-13 07:20 (UTC)

Thanks, I'm waiting.

thenaterhood commented on 2018-09-13 01:11 (UTC)

Gotcha. I can replicate this as well, so it's not just you. Interestingly, I get the same error from pip, which makes me very concerned that something isn't right. I'm investigating.

AlexWayfer commented on 2018-09-11 07:00 (UTC)

By any chance, if you've recently updated your Python version, have you tried reinstalling?

Yep, I tried twice — the same.

AlexWayfer: Thanks for the heads up, I'll look into it. By any chance, if you've recently updated your Python version, have you tried reinstalling? I occasionally see problems with Python applications having some trouble after Python updates.

There's work being done on the crash issue at https://github.com/thenaterhood/gscreenshot/issues/36. If you have more information or other issues stop by and log them as well.
