Lutris fails to launch on Arch when installed via Pacman, looking for help debugging

Support

I am running Arch on linux 6.12.34-1-lts. I have installed Lutris with the following command:

sudo pacman -S lutris

I then try to start lutris but get the following error

$ lutris                                                                                                                                                                                                                           
Error importing Lutris application module: No module named 'lutris'

Weirdly it doesn’t seem to me like this is a Python error and I’m not getting much feedback at all. Anyone have any ideas?

Here is more info about my python installation

~ ❯ which python
/home/zac/.pyenv/shims/python
~ ❯ python --version
Python 3.12.5

It works fine when installed via flatpak, but I am interested in digging into this.

Your lutris package will have its modules in /usr/lib/python3.13/site-packages. You have an older python interpreter in /home/zac which is prepended to your PATH.

$ which python
/usr/bin/python
$ python --version
Python 3.13.3

Remove said python from your PATH.
