Is anyone else having trouble getting lutris to launch in ubuntu after its latest update (earlier this week)?
Attempts to launch it in the terminal give me a cryptic error (to me, very much a non developer) about a problem on line 25.
A stab in the dark, but I'm thinking I either wait until someone else sees the problem and fixes it or try to find a way to install an earlier version. Any other suggestions? I don't want to have to break down and *clutches pearles* boot Windows to play my game.

Would you be able to share the error message here?

[1]I found this thread that mentions upgrading from Python 3.6 to Python 3.7 potentially breaking Lutris, as it installs some things into the versioned python directory in /usr/lib, which would likely be the "missing" modules. I know you've already fixed the situation on your machine, but I figured maybe the information would be useful if someone else runs into the same error.

What if you download the tarball and try running lutris from the extracted folder?

Joy! I wound up going to openSUSE's build service and downloading the .deb for lutris for my version of ubuntu. It's a slightly older version, but it runs my game now. I'm thinking the repo got borked up somehow and when I did my update that screwed something up.
