Hi, please could you provide more info about what you're trying to do?

How did you install flirpy etc - this isn't something others have reported so please try with other python versions, etc.

[mattxcnm]

@jveitchmichaelis I followed the directions for pip installation of the library with pip v22.2.2 and a Python v3.10.7 virtual environment.

I ran the command python .\env\scripts\split_seqs -h from a command prompt terminal in my Python virtual environment to try and get the splitter command to display the help menu, but received the error shown above.

My goal is to use flirpy to make a 2.75TB seq file generated by a FLIR A50 to be more manageable in a coding environment.

I will try another Python version. Thanks!

I have Python 3.10, 3.9, 3.8, and 3.7 for other testing (All versions downloaded from Windows store, not directly from Python.org)

OK can you just remove the height/width lines from the script for now? The latest interface shouldn't require knowledge of image width/height (it's inferred from the image) and we don't actually use those args anywhere.

@jveitchmichaelis Looks like commenting out those two lines was able to let it run. Thanks!
