It looks like your Python bindings for MLT are not installed... or they are
broken. Please take a look at this FAQ:
https://answers.launchpad.net/openshot/+faq/1032. Also, be sure you are
using the PPA if you are on Ubuntu 9.10 or 10.04.

Thanks,
-Jonathan

At first look, you have an old installation of MLT our actual framework and you must to update it now.
See this FAQ https://answers.launchpad.net/openshot/+faq/1861 but as the version of MLT 0.8.6 has an nasty bug when you export (i.e you can not) and the 0.8.2 present in the stable Sunab PPA, I give you to advice to use the Sunab-experimental PPA (even I don't like to give this one to beginners) but think after update your version of MLT (instructions in the FAQ) to desactive it https://launchpad.net/~sunab/+archive/kdenlive-svn:
Good luck.
When we will realese our own framework (and include it) in Openshot in the next version (aka now like 2.0.0), it will be more simple to updte all i.e only the Openshot PPA.

Can you help with this problem?
