Guake: Error: python2 No module named guake

Asked by Siddhesh Ambhire

I was installing mycroft from https://github.com/MycroftAI/mycroft-core.git. I installed its requirements, but later I switched to its apt repository. After doing all this I also upgraded system using sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade.

After restarting the system I couldn't open guake. It was showing error: python2: No module named guake. I looked for versions of python installed I found that I have two.

~ $ which python
/usr/local/bin/python
~ $ python
Python 2.7.11+ (default, Apr 17 2016, 14:00:29)

and other in /usr/bin/python.
~ $ /usr/bin/python
Python 2.7.12 (default, Nov 19 2016, 06:48:10)

Second python was able to import guake successfully while the first failed. I don't know how this problem has arisen. Can anyone point me in right direction?

Should I fix this by shuffling the folders in PATH variable or is it dangerous? I'm a newbie so just asking...
