How did you install i3-resurrect? Everything installs fine and runs without errors on the Travis CI build (Ubuntu Disco), and I'm not having any issues on Arch either. Both AUR packages have python-enum-compat from the AUR as a dependency so it should be installed on your system if you installed i3-resurrect via the AUR. Can you verify that you have that package installed?

[totalolage]

Yes, the first thing I did was to reinstall i3-resurrect, verify that python-enum-compat is installed as a dependency, tried installing python-enum-compa manually, tried using i3-resurrect-git all with same result.

Okay I have managed to reproduce this. I had enum-compat installed under ~/.local so that's why it worked. Not sure why it's not working with the python-enum-compat package from the AUR, but I'll look into it.

For now it should work if you do python3 -m pip install --user enum-compat

[JonnyHaystack]

Looks like something weird is going on with python-enum-compat but I'm not entirely sure what. i3ipc-python has removed the enum-compat dependency, but this change is not in a release of i3ipc-python.

I'll remove the dependency on python-enum-compat and I'll change the dependency on python-i3ipc to i3ipc-python-git and that should fix it.

[JonnyHaystack]

Okay I've updated both AUR packages and it's fixed for me. Let me know if that works for you.

Installing the pip package manually, as well as now with the changed dependancies works. Thanks!
