Terminal errors when loading game into pychess (Ubuntu 16.04.1, clean install)..

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pychess/Main.py", line 448, in recent_item_activated
    newGameDialog.LoadFileExtension.run(self.get_current_uri())

This bug also affected me. I installed Pychess 12.4 deb from the Pychess download page - problem solved.

I hit the bug too, on Ubuntu 17.04, with pychess 0.12.2
The newest version 0.12.4 works (https://github.com/pychess/pychess/releases).
Probably fixed within 0.12.3, see https://github.com/pychess/pychess/issues/1314.

Any chance to upgrade to upstream version ?
