Fixed my problem, seems it was due to having installed Openshot from PPA
under 8.04 and then upgrading to 10.04. When openshot 1.1.3-1 from the
lucid repository updated the previous version during upgrade, it removed
the old package from /usr/share/openshot, but not the precompiled python
files, and installed the new version to /usr/share/pyshare/openshot.
Purging openshot afterward only removed the /usr/share/pyshare/openshot
folder, not the /usr/share/openshot with leftover pyc files, which in
/usr/bin/openshot is searched first and thus gave the python version
mismatch error 'Bad magic number'. Removing /usr/share/openshot did the
trick.

I revert my status change. Sorry for the spam.

Bug description:
I'm using Ubuntu 9.04.

After installing 0.9.42 from PPA, when I run openshot that is what I get:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Added /usr/share/openshot to system path
--------------------------------
   OpenShot (version 0.9.42)
--------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------
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 couldn't find 'setup.py' on the openshot package.
I have other PPA respositories in use so maybe there is an issue with them. I can't really be sure about this.
