Then it should be running in python 2.x, which is fine.

Yes.

You don't need to do this based on the above.

This is it trying to import gtk, not pygtk. Do this:

% python2
Python 2.7.5+ (default, Feb 27 2014, 19:37:08)
[GCC 4.8.1] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import pygtk
>>> import gtk
>>>

Verify that it's running Python 2.x, and try to do those two imports
without seeing the ImportError. If you can't, then you're missing
something on your system, completely independent of CHIRP.

I'm not familiar with Arch (other than to know that it's really not the
ideal choice for user-friendliness) so I can't help much. I don't know
what the package names are, or how they split apart python libraries to
tell you what to install. Maybe someone else here is more familiar and
can help out.

Good luck!
