I now get a similar message on my install of ubuntu 9.10.  Openshot 1.0
used to work fairly well but since upgrading to openshot 1.1 the program
fails to start.  I removed the openshot folder in user/share before
installing version 1.1 and I do not have kdenlive installed.   When
running from the terminal I get the following message.

 OpenShot (version 1.1.0)

*** ERROR: MLT Python bindings failed to import ***
*** ERROR: MLT Python bindings failed to import ***

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
