Exhibitera_Apps throws exception - ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'PyDMXControl'

(I'm not sure if you're ready yet for people to test the beta, so please let me know if I should hold off until the official release. Thanks!)

Trying to run Exhibitera_Apps latest beta fails with:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "Exhibitera_Apps.py", line 23, in <module>

[279332] Failed to execute script 'Exhibitera_Apps' due to unhandled exception!

Ubuntu 22.04, both Python3.10 (default repo) and Python3.12 (installed from PPA).

Hi @David-S-Morgan, are you trying to run the scripts directly or build the binary? Both should work—the binary builds successfully for me on Ubuntu 20.04. A couple things to note:

• You can find OS-specific build scripts in the new exhibitera/build/ directory
• There are separate requirements.txt files for Apps and Hub
• Python 3.12 is the target platform, although I suspect it will work fine on 3.10+

The Exhibitera 5 beta should be ready to play with—we have been final testing it on our production environment the last couple of weeks. Only a couple of small issues to resolve before final release.

Hi @forceflow1049, I built the binary using your build scripts, and that completed without error.

I just set up a fresh Ubuntu 22.04 VM and the apps binary builds and runs successfully there under Python 3.10, so it must be something in my environment that is causing the issue -- I'll let you know if I figure it out.

I rebuilt the Apps binary in my original environment, and now it seems to run fine. I blame cosmic rays. :-D

Glad it's working for you!
