There is currently a non-intrusive error upon starting the program:

The scribes codebase basically hardcodes the python path, instead of getting it from the system. This is /usr/bin/python and as such it unintentionally picks up our python3.

As one could probably tell, this interferes with features for word/auto completion. A bug has already been filed upstream independently, [1] and I recommend the patch [2] be applied to our package tentatively until the next release.
