Hum you have created a link the first time. Have you try the same the second time before try to launch with the the precedent command (on the top) ? 
Just a stupid question but have you do the link in a root mode ? I think it's necessary and what is this link ?
perhpas something like this :
# ln -s /usr/share/openshot/openshot.py xxxxxxxxx

Could you post more details , please ?

Thanks

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 .
