Unable to run

[Inrego]

After using bw_plex with docker, I decided to try just installing it on my Ubuntu machine instead of docker. I used the install script as per the docs, but when trying to run it, I received this error whenever trying to run bw_plex:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/bw_plex", line 11, in <module>
    load_entry_point('bw-plex', 'console_scripts', 'bw_plex')()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 489, in load_entry_point

  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/plexapi/compat.py", line 50, in <module>
    from mock import patch, MagicMock
ImportError: No module named mock

I then ran pip install mock, and now I'm getting this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/bw_plex", line 11, in <module>
    load_entry_point('bw-plex', 'console_scripts', 'bw_plex')()

    os.makedirs(DEFAULT_FOLDER, exist_ok=True)
TypeError: makedirs() got an unexpected keyword argument 'exist_ok'

As far as I can gather, this error comes because python2 is used instead of python3. Here are my installed versions:

python -V
Python 2.7.16
python3 -V
Python 3.7.3

Got any ideas?

Your using python2. Try 🐍 3

[Inrego]

How do I "use" python 3? I have both installed, and I'm just running bw_plex

[Hellowlol]

I think you can call it manually.

python3 -m bw_plex watch
