OpenShotno longer opens in Arch Linux

OpenShot no longer opens in Arch Linux, it used to but now it doesn't. When I try to run OpenShot from the terminal I receive the following error:

------------------------- ERROR 1 ------------------------------
Failed to import 'from openshot import main'
Error Message: cannot import name main
----------------------------------------------------------------

(process:2802): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
 Using the fallback 'C' locale.
--------------------------------
   OpenShot (version 1.4.0)
--------------------------------

------------------------- ERROR 2 ------------------------------
Failed to import 'from openshot.openshot import main'
Error Message: unsupported locale setting
----------------------------------------------------------------

OpenShot has failed to import some of the Python files or libraries
required for our application to run. Here are some trouble shooting
tips:

Tip 1) Check if MLT can be successfully imported in Python. Run the
 following commands, and see if any errors are displayed. If you get
 an error, you need to investigate the correct way to install MLT.
 NOTE: Do not type the $ or >> characters in the examples below.

       $ python
       >> import mlt
       >> mlt.Factory().init()

Tip 2) If MLT is working from the first example, then the next tip is
 to look at the above error messages very closely, and google for more
 help. It's likely the problem is already reported, and maybe there is
 a simple work-around. Also, you can search for bugs or report a new
 bug at https://bugs.launchpad.net/openshot. Good luck!

This is what I get when I check to see if MLT is working:

Python 2.7.2 (default, Jun 29 2011, 11:10:00)
[GCC 4.6.1] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import mlt
>>> mlt.Factory().init()
<mlt.Repository; proxy of <Swig Object of type 'Mlt::Repository *' at 0x7fa841b9fc00> >
>>>

I have tried running the debug.py script but it does not work under Arch, I get this error message:

-----------------------------------------------------------
OpenShot Debug File 0.0.2 - 2011-11-14 14:57:10.085927
-----------------------------------------------------------
This file contains a list of installed packages related to OpenShot,
locations of files, and a list of shared libraries used by python-mlt.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "debug.py", line 40, in <module>
    process = subprocess.Popen(["lsb_release","-a"], stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stdin=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.STDOUT)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 679, in __init__
    errread, errwrite)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 1228, in _execute_child
    raise child_exception
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

I'm guessing this is because the script was intended for use in Ubuntu and other .deb based distros. Is there a way to edit debug.py for use in Arch?

I have tried also tried to uninstall and re-install both OpenShot and MLT but the problem persists.

system info:
Arch Linux 64-bit (system fully up to date as of this writing)
Nvidia driver 285.05.09
openshot 1.4.0-1
mlt 0.7.6-1
mlt-python-bindings 0.7.6-1

Any help would be appreciated.
