Bluepy and Bookworm #507

Open madmacks59 opened 7 months ago

madmacks59 commented 7 months ago

I've been running Bluepy on several Bullseye based RPis for awhile. Recently I had to reformat the SD card on one of those Pis, and I decided to upgrade to Bookworm, as it's the latest Pi OS. All went well, except now I can't install Bluepy on the Pi. When I run the "normal" install process the OS throws an error...

sudo pip install bluepy

results in: error: externally-managed-environment

This environment is externally managed To install Python packages system-wide, try apt install python3-xyz, where xyz is the package you are trying to install.

So I try...

sudo apt install python3-bluepy

and the response is...

E: Unable to locate package python3-bluepy

Is there some trick to getting Bluepy installed on Bookworm?

Same question over here... FOund any solutions?

I would go for: https://pypi.org/project/bluepy3/ It should be based on this code. But for python >=3.8 only

Im having the same issue. Using it for wof. Did you guys have any luck?

madmacks59 commented 4 months ago

I had to set up and use a VENV using Bookworm. Once I figured out how to do that it worked fine, but it took me awhile to figure it out.

So all I have to do is get bluepy installed with venv using source ./ and just run and check if wof program is running then deactivate and then install the plugin

Add this at the end of pip install "--break-system-packages" eg: sudo pip install bluepy --break-system-packages This will install bluepy as its install earlier, no need to change any libs.

This is due to your distribution adopting PEP 668 – Marking Python base environments as “externally managed”.
