Andy,
In comment #4 you give these instructions:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Did you follow these instructions?

1) Remove OpenShot and MLT using Synaptic.
2) Then, look for the following files and delete them if you find them:
     - mlt.py
     - _mlt.so
     - mlt_wrap.o
(they could be in /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/ or /usr/local, depending on your installation method)
3) Finally, re-install OpenShot and MLT using Synaptic (and the new
experimental PPA)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I did not find any of the above listed files, but in  /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/  there was mlt.pyc .  I deleted it then reinstalled and Openshot started up correctly!
John
