@Weissnix4711 Certainly I got an error trying to run blocks. I solve it by uninstalling it, along with some of its dependencies. Basically, I uninstalled: python-pyparted, python-maintboot-git and python-g2p-blocks-git

Then I just reinstall them, and it worked again after doing that. Try to do that and see if it works.

The patch you are suggesting only makes it fail if you try to run it using a python version lower than 3. But it already tries to run it on python3 by default, since on arch, "python" points to python3:

$ ls -lha /usr/bin/python
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Jun 30 05:22 /usr/bin/python -> python3
