I just posted in the OpenShot users forum about Slackware packages that
are now available for a seamless installation.

At this time, the packages are built from a SlackBuild script package,
and that generates the packages.

There are three dependancies:

1.) frie0r

2.) mlt

3.) pygoocanvas

I have the compiled packages and am offering to create a single binary
installation package for download and installation of OpenShot on
Slackware 13.0, if that is, you would like to provide a slackware
version for download on your website.

Actual Slackware packages take usually only a few seconds to install (a
little faster than RPMs), and this could go a long way towards gaining
an even wider user base for OpenShot. Not to mention having the
convenience for the user to be able to install it in a matter of a
minute or so :)

I'm not sure If I'll receive an email notification for a response for
this thread, but you can email me or just lemme know in the user forums
(in the installation forum) otherwise.

Kindest regards,

Bradley

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 .
