Leap 15 - KDE - Openshot-qt is broken

Hello,

I’ve noticed that Openshot-QT (Leap-15.0-Oss repo) is broken on Leap 15 with KDE.
Here’s what I get when starting the app:

openshot-qt      
Loaded modules from installed directory: /usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/openshot_qt

      logger:ERROR :

I had to install Python-Request manually to make it work.

I circumvented the obstacle by installing AppImagekit, and by downloading the Openshot executable directly from the site
https://software.opensuse.org/package/AppImageKit

https://www.openshot.org/it/download/

I think Python-Request should be added in the list of required dependencies.

Hi
You could branch, fix and submit, else consider raising a bug report;

It’s been a while since repo, on both computers I had to use AppImagekit.
But looking good, there are a lot of programs in the Packman repo that are there but they do not work or they have problems > Flowblade > 2ManDvd > Openshot-qt
2ManDvd has been dead for years

Been following OpenShot for a few years now,
AFAIK no one has been able to truly get it working right except on Bebian systems (including Ubuntu), that’s what the author and owner builds to. Many people on RPM and Windows systems have tried to encourage the author/owner to build OpenShot to be less native to Debian but he hasn’t shown interest in doing that work…

So, IMO the likely only reliable way to run Openshot is in a cross-platform, cross-distro app environment like AppImage and perhaps container based technologies like Snap, Docker, etc. when Openshot can run in its own little stub of Debian code.
