["Dictator@Svervegia" <toxozoz@xxxxxxxxx>]

Okay , I understood the true bug ! I don't why , but is like the script
can't find the script located in the site-packages ... so I tried to
link it in /usr/share/openshot (because I noticed that in theory the
script try to find the "true" openshot in that directory ) and It works
, I have the link ! So I thought that the problem it'll appear solved ..
No the problem persists ... the script can't find the "true" program .
So I launched the openshot.py myself .. and this is the result :

root@Svervegia:/usr/share/openshot# python openshot.py
--------------------------------
   OpenShot (version 0.9.54)

Bug description:
I installed this software with the wizard (version 0.9.54) on my Slackware 13 . The installation process doesn't give errors , but when I try to launch openshot , the program doesn't start .... launching it from a terminal gives me these message : 

--------------------------------
   OpenShot (version 0.9.54)
--------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------
Error:  OpenShot has not been installed in the Python path.
(Both the site-packages and /usr/share/openshot folders were checked)

Use the following command to install OpenShot:
  $ sudo python setup.py install

I understood the message , but I didn't find a solution yet . Reading some forums I noticed that this problem is common in non Debian-based systems .
