Also the shebang should be changed to #!/usr/bin/env python2 since /usr/bin/python does not exist anymore in

I just ran 2to3 on obamenu and it looks like a simple fix. Maybe we can push this upstream to Debian and not need the python2 call?

Confirmed, but… since obamenu is an external tool not supplied by Openbox developers, I think the appropriate solution here would be to simply remove obamenu from the Openbox package. You can always download it if you want it:

Also reading /etc/xdg/openbox/menu.xml There's a comment above the call to obconf that says "This requires the presence of the 'openbox-menu' package to work." Needless to say, that doesn't help XD

I will push fix for that to Debian repo at this week.
