It seems that python-sip should also be listed as a dependency for this.

$ usb-creator-kde 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/usb-creator-kde", line 21, in <module>
    import sip
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'sip'

I get a compile-time error, while running package() :

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 2, in <module>
    from DistUtilsExtra.command import *
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'DistUtilsExtra'

even though package python-distutils-extra (version 2.39-3) is properly installed.

Sorry for the lack of updates here, should work again as intended.

erikzenker: About the error: ValueError: Namespace Unity not available I just commented the line 28 of the file /usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/usbcreator/frontends/gtk/unitysupport.py. And work just fine.

So I installed this and got, like the others, the " ValueError: Namespace Unity not available" error. I looked a bit in the code and found the problem.

FIX:

change the line 28 in ..site-packages/usbcreator/frontends/gtk/unitysupport.py

from

except ImportError as e:

to

except (ImportError, ValueError) as e:

EXPLANATION:

In ..site-packages/usbcreator/frontends/gtk/unitysupport.py it checks if the Unity environment (the former Ubuntu desktop environment) is running and therefore calls require_versions('Unity', '7.0') in a try block that has an except block for exceptions of type "ImportError". BUT require_versions (..site-packages/gi/init.py:92) throws an exception of type ValueError.

THIS PACKAGE SHOULD BE UPDATED

I also looked up the current version of usbcreator from upstream (https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/trusty/usb-creator/trusty/view/head:/usbcreator/frontends/gtk/unitysupport.py) and there the require_versions check was completely deleted. Maybe it would help to just update this package to the current version of the code instead of wildly patching in it :-)

I also get the error of the previous comment:

...
ValueError: Namespace Unity not available

Missing some unity stuff as dependency?

Strange, I had to manually install python-debian although it is correctly listed as a dependency.

I have a issue in compilation:

/usr/local/bin/python -O /tmp/tmp0at6pfbw.py
