When you update Python, you need to rebuild all python AUR packages, including Ulauncher.

See https://github.com/Ulauncher/Ulauncher/discussions/1280 for more info

ulauncher seems to use python-pyxdg rather than python-xdg now.

@sem.z I had the same error and I was able to resolve it by forced removal of python-xdg and installation of python-pyxdg.

If someone getting an error:

$ ulauncher
\Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/ulauncher", line 27, in <module>
    from ulauncher.main import main
  File "/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/ulauncher/main.py", line 19, in <module>
    from ulauncher.config import (get_version, get_options, is_wayland, is_wayland_compatibility_on,
  File "/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/ulauncher/config.py", line 17, in <module>
    from xdg.BaseDirectory import xdg_config_home, xdg_cache_home, xdg_data_dirs, xdg_data_home
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'xdg.BaseDirectory'

Install python-pyxdg dependency instead of python-xdg.

Message for maintainer: Is it possible to include @yochananmarqos comments into the recommended files? They fix all the issues of this package. Thanks

PKGBUILD critique:

A package already provides itself, no need for provides() and conflicts().
libappindicator-gtk3 should be optional
wmctrl is missing as an optional dependency, see Hotkey In Wayland.
Checksums are missing for the tarball, do not skip them
The service should be installed
Line 34 & 35 are not necessary

Improved PKGBUILD and install file.

jtylerjones -- to enable the systemd user service, you may need to create the file /etc/systemd/user/ulauncher.service with the contents of https://github.com/Ulauncher/Ulauncher/blob/dev/contrib/systemd/ulauncher.service, and then enable the service with systemctl --user enable ulauncher.service.

I was able to get around the python3-distutils-extra error by simply installing python2.

I fix the python3-distutils-extra error by adding (as ulauncher said) /usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages to the PYTHONPATH:

Open a terminal
Open the .bashrc with a text editor, eg. Kate ~/.bashrc
Add at the end export PYTHONPATH="/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages"
Install ulauncher

Note: you must be under python environment. I was in anaconda environment and even if the python3-distutils-extra did not appear I was not able to compleate the installation, so I ran conda deactivate and after the installation conda activate

5.8.1 (https://github.com/Ulauncher/Ulauncher/releases/tag/5.8.1) added a systemd service. However, it does not appear to be included in the tar this uses to build.

I could see it being retrieved using something like this "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Ulauncher/Ulauncher/${pkgver}/contrib/systemd/ulauncher.service"

jylertones commented on 2020-07-06 16:07 (UTC)

One suggestion: can we add wmctrl as an optional dependency? Without it, the window does not focus in Wayland. See https://github.com/Ulauncher/Ulauncher/wiki/Hotkey-In-Wayland

the build error is due to pyenv (atleast in my system), run pyenv local system in a terminal and proceed to install
