Hi  Tamás,

From some months I cant start pychess, there are a lot of errors:

ERROR: Unable to import gstreamer.
Namespace Gst not available
Traceback (most recent call last):

    from pexpect.popen_spawn import PopenSpawn
ImportError: No module named 'pexpect.popen_spawn'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Try to install python3-ptyprocess (>=0.5) package!
