Lutris not launching on ubuntu

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.

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.

Yes , somewhat similar problems occured for me.

WS:~$ lutris

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "/usr/bin/lutris", line 25, in <module>

from lutris.gui.application import Application

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'lutris'

WS:~$

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.
