Python 3.5 incompatibility

[andrei-a-papou]

Hello, and thank you for this utility. I'd love to try it out, but am currently unable to install.

Running Debian Stretch here.

I can't install locally, only in a virtual environment. Setting it up as usual:

cd ~/bin
python3 -m venv ewmh_m2m 
. ewmh_m2m/bin/activate
pip install ewmh-m2m

The result is:

Collecting ewmh-m2m
  Cache entry deserialization failed, entry ignored
  Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement ewmh-m2m (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for ewmh-m2m

I tried upgrading pip inside the virtualenv and try again, but it also failed:

python -m pip install --upgrade pip
Cache entry deserialization failed, entry ignored

pip install ewmh-m2m               
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement ewmh-m2m (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for ewmh-m2m

I would appreciate any pointers on how to proceed at this point. Either fixing the virtualenv installation, or maybe running it from a local cloned repo?

Thank you.

From what I can see from here, the most obvious reason for this error is that your Python version does not match the Python specifier from the package (Python >= 3.7). Actually, I did not test my script with other versions. I am going to release a new version, less restrictive about Python version. Let me know if you have any other problem. Thanks for the feedback.

[AlexisBRENON]

Can you please give me your Python version?

[AlexisBRENON]

I just tried with Python 3.5. Unfortunately I used some features that are not available before Python 3.7 (for example the auto from the enum package).

If you want to make it Python 3.5 compatible, PRs are welcome :wink: (or I will do it when I'll time) To run from a local repo:

• clone the repo
• create your virtual environment and activate it
• install local copy of the script: pip install .
• enjoy.

@AlexisBRENON thanks for a prompt response!

My python version is:

python3 -V
Python 3.5.3

So you are probably right, it's a version issue. Unfortunately, I know very little python3 to submit a PR :)

I'll keep an eye on this repo, though, and wait for an update, whenever it comes. Thanks again!

I just made a new release which is Python3.5 compatible (from what I tested). You should be able to install it now. Let me know if you encounter other issues.

By the way, you should probably not use a virtualenv to install it, or you will be not able to use it easily (you will have to activate your virtual environment before calling the entrypoint).

Alexis, thank you. It installs now and seems to run great.

Windows are moved smoothly and seamlessly, much nicer and with no flicker compared to the homegrown xdotool- and wmctrl-based script that I currently use.

I will switch to move-to-monitor now and report any errors or suggestions.

Again, thanks a lot!
