Bug Description
Ok, I managed to get it working on Ubuntu 18.04 simply by installing the python-glade2 package, which seems to pull in the dependencies like pygtk. Then I installed with
sudo ./setup.py install
from the source folder, but got this error
Failed to open file “/usr/share/
this path seems to be hardcoded - but the required files are in /usr/local/
I do not know if there is a shortcut in python to search all obvious directories on a linux system or if you have to add all possible target directories manually. I temporarily fixed it with a symlink, but the source should use valid paths, I believe.

The program does not hard code the path to the .ui file. It only hard codes the default, but allows the location to be over-ridden with a command line option: -g or --glade-path
I'm not great with setup.py; I created the one I have based on a recipe from somewhere. I might be able to figure out how to auto-generate a config file that can be used to get the default glade path and default locale path, but since I never install it directly with setup.py I've never encountered a problem with it.
