Cannot use on Ubuntu 20.04 (building not possible)

[Paderman]

I can't use the editor in new version of Ubuntu.
I tried to build and similar, but nothing works, I can only delete all files of it 😭

If you have an idea to use this editor on newer versions of Ubuntu, please let me (us) know.

Better it would exist an AppImage 😄 because that image contains all necessary files and so.

I do confirm it's not building with pip3 (earlier versions of pip won't work on Ubuntu 20.04), giving:

Probably comes in too late, but you should install with pip2 instead of pip3. This repository is 13 years old guys

[Kaboom4224]

the pip manpage tells me "pip" is used for python2 and "pip3" is used for python3 on debian

Very late to the party here, but you can install PyGTK for Python 2.7 from the old repos

wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/p/pygtk/python-gtk2_2.24.0-5.1ubuntu2_amd64.deb
sudo apt-get install ./python-gtk2_2.24.0-5.1ubuntu2_amd64.deb

The program then works in Ubuntu 20.04.

I'm running 20.04 and pip2 was not installed, nor available in APT.
To install pip2, run the following (source):

curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/pip/2.7/get-pip.py --output get-pip.py
python2 get-pip.py

I got it running, but it doesn't work. I'll look into it when I have some time...
