Python 2.6 not supported by gtk-recordmydesktop

I confirm this bug for qt-recordmydesktop as well. The error messages when following the steps above are the same for me, except for line numbers and that my system goes to /lib/ instead of /lib64/ .

Steps to produce:

1. Start qt-recordMyDesktop from cmd line
2. Application window opens, and qt-recordMyDesktop throw warning:

/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/qt_recordMyDesktop/rmdMonitor.py:34: DeprecationWarning: The popen2 module is deprecated. Use the subprocess module.
import popen2

3. Click Advanced button on qt-recordMyDesktop GUI
4. Following errors are thrown into terminal and no other windows are
opened:

/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/recordMyDesktop/rmdPrefsWidget.py:331:
DeprecationWarning: os.popen3 is deprecated. Use the subprocess module.
(stdin,stdout,stderr)=os.popen3(['jack_lsp'],'t')

Gentoo Linux,

media-video/qt-recordmydesktop-0.3.8

I had a similar problem on opensuse. installing jack it worked. there' s a open bug saying that jack should be ignored if not present.
HTH
