Description of the Problem, or Question?
After I installed mypaint from the github source, I can successfully run it by running “mypaint” in terminal, but if I go to run it as python mypaint.py or if I try to import specific parts of the lib (say, “from lib import surface”) I get the error below. I got the same problem using version 1.2x as here, but the compat-v1.2.2 branch fixed it there, which makes me think it might be a similar problem, but the SConscript file no longer exists, so I’m not sure how to fix it.
Basic System Details
MyPaint version:
2.0.0-alpha+git.5c64063
Operating System + Version:
Ubuntu 16.04.5
