"..python" in /usr/bin/openteacher should be "..python2

[Bersam Karbasion]

after installing openteacher in archlinux, it give you this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/openteacher", line 22, in <module>
    import openteacher as parent
ImportError: No module named openteacher

this is because of python's version in archlinux. in archlinux python means python3 so #! needed to be python2 instead of python.

#!/usr/bin/python
should be:
#!/usr/bin/python2

Thanks for reporting your bug!
This is true. The OpenTeacher ArchLinux package was made a year ago, before the default python was python3 in ArchLinux. Because of the rolling release, this broke many packages, including OpenTeacher.
Packages for ArchLinux haven't been updated since, so the latest OpenTeacher with an ArchLinux package is 2.0.
If you don't mind not using pacman, we recommend you to download the source, and make your own shortcuts.
I will make sure there is an updated ArchLinux package when OpenTeacher 3.0 comes out.

FYI if this change is made it will break the debian and ubuntu packages.

In Ubuntu
#!/usr/bin/env python == python 2.7
#!/usr/bin/env python3 == python 3.x

In Debian
#!/usr/bin/env python == python 2.6 and 2.7
#!/usr/bin/env python3 == python 3.x

So clearly someone is going to have to add some regex magic into their packaging.

My preference would be to follow Ubuntu here for the main source, since that's what Cas and me are using. Agreed we need a fix for Arch in 3.0 though.

The arch packaging script now changes the shebang line on the fly.
