[Blink] Blink doesn't work

[Mike Nagie]

Hi,

Thank you for your answer.
It's not worth trying to fix Xubuntu, that's just a virtual testing 
system for me. I didn't understand the error message, but after 
installing couple of programs... it still refused to work.
I did not use your repository, because I have Wily the werewolf and 
there was no such repository. I didn't find 'eventlib' in the official 
xubuntu repo, so that's what I got:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/blink", line 30, in <module>
    from blink import Blink
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/blink/__init__.py", line 
29, in <module>
    from eventlib import api
ImportError: No module named eventlib


So back to Archlinux.
We don't really have python-application, but python2-application and 
it's up-to-date. This is version 1.5.0-1
https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/any/python2-application/
And there's nothing more, even in the testing repos. It seems to be the 
latest.

And yes, I built it from source. I used some old Arch AUR PKGBUILDs, but 
the main one is this one:
http://pkgbuild.com/git/aur-mirror.git/plain/blink-darcs/PKGBUILD
(All the dependencies have been satisfied)

Thanks once again
Mike
