Re: [orca-list] problem installing Orca from source: can't find pygtk 2.0

[Steve Holmes <steve holmes88 gmail com>]

Actually, the PKGBUILD in the orca-git package in AUR should correct
the python situation so you sholdn't have to change any references to
python2.  Now with Accerciser, I had to change the symlink for python
while building the package and then change it back.  I couldn't get
the scripts to automatically handle it completely from inside.  But
orca-git should build OK.
