Trelby can't start or install in Manjaro-Linux

[leoni...@gmail.com]

Hi, I'm a young italian screenwriter and a linux user, I use this fantastic program for my works, I would say thanks to all the developers :-)
I'm here to ask for help. I recently reinstalled my OS (Manjaro-Linux, a derivate from Arch), but I can't install anymore Trelby from AUR, so I downloaded the .tar.gz package from the site. I followed the instructions from the README file ("You have to copy trelby/ to /opt/trelby/. Afterwards you can run the program with the command "/opt/trelby/src/trelby.py".), but when I run the program I get this error:

/opt/trelby/src/trelby.py
  File "/opt/trelby/src/trelby.py", line 131
    os.mkdir(misc.toPath(misc.confPath), 0755)
                                            ^
SyntaxError: invalid token

So I downloaded the git-hub version, run the setup.py file and get another error:

  File "setup.py", line 40
    print line,
             ^
SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'

I think that all dependencies are installed, so I don't know how to solve this problem. Can anyone help me, please?
Thank you.

This is because Trelby is written for Python 2.7, and you're running it with Python 3.

Thanks

Ok. I can't run the website package, it asks me to install the wxwidgets2 that I have alrealdy installed. Instead I succesfully installed and started the git-hub package.
For any noob like me, the command is python2 setup.py install, then to start the program python2 /opt/trelby/src/trelby.py
Thank you so much!

A fix for using Trelby with 3.0 is here https://github.com/oskusalerma/trelby/commit/50c46f2249ca5b094c5e712a872e1dadbd8dfdfa

Hello, I'm currently running Debian Jessie (8.x) and had the similar dependencies problem as the OP when trying to install Trelby. I tried installing with both the .deb and the .tar.gz from http://www.trelby.org/download, only to get the install error as outlined in this issue.

After a few hours of research I discovered that the fix I needed was pushed to the most recent trunk, so I'm happily running Trelby now after cloning and installing. Which leads to the question that shouldn't someone update the http://www.trelby.org/download page? At least add a link to GitHub with some text like "Did the above linux downloads not work? Try downloading the most recent trunk at https://github.com/oskusalerma/trelby". Not all users would go through the effort of searching through google forums and github issues.

Thanks for the great free (!) software btw :)

Yes, we've needed to do a new release for years now. Lack of manpower...
