I also stumbled upon this problem on a Manjaro machine. There it seems like python-xlib has disappeared from the repos (it is installed locally but not available for installation any more), only python2-xlib is available. However, python-xlib-git exists in the AUR which, however, fails to build. So I see two options for further digging: Ask the Manjaro devs what happened with python-xlib or wait for a fix for python-xlib-git in the AUR.

@Dawa. Not sure why python-ewmh is not working for you. Does "python -c "import ewmh"" also fail for you? If so, there's something broken with your python-xlib/python-ewmh installtion, but I'm not sure that (note that the error is not in caffeine-ng itself, rather ewmh).

@hobarrera python-ewmh and python-xlib are both installed and are the latest versions from AUR.
I tried uninstalling python-xlib/ewmh and caffeine-ng, then reinstalling all three. I still get the same error message.

@Dawa: The last line is pretty clear: "The 'python-xlib' distribution was not found and is required by ewmh".
Make sure your installation of python-ewmh is up-to-date, and so are its dependencies.

3.3.8 fails to start, when I try to run it from terminal i get the error seen here: http://pastebin.com/xhYqKMjv

@hobarrera no worries. It works perfectly for me now. Thanks for the fix.

@Dawa: Could you be a bit clearer?
Dawa commented on 2016-08-12 17:02 (UTC)
This new build breaks Caffeine-ng for me. 3.3.7 was working fine; 3.3.8 won't start with python-xlib errors in terminal.

Oops, forgot to actually UPLOAD the new PKGBUILD.

I can confirm that python-xlib is not fixed yet.
You can manually workaround this issue by editing
/usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/caffeine_ng-3.3.7-py3.5.egg-info/requires.txt

After an upgrade to Python 3.11, you need to rebuild this package (and all Python packages in the AUR).
