After installing the package python-py-notify I still get the same error. If I open an interactive python shell, I can only import "notify" without the "py". On the Py-notify website, they are using "from notify.all import *". Again no "py". When I search/replace "pynotify" for "notify" in fileorganizer.py, the plugin can be activated without errors.

Solved. And thanks for the hint.
