Linux (DEB) version returns error and will not run

[chriscrutch]

At least the last two versions have had the same issue. I found the error in 1.9.4, downgraded to 1.8.22 (the last one I had before upgrading) to get it to work, and waited for a new version thinking that it would likely get resolved. 1.9.5 was released and upon installation the same error persisted, so I came here. Trying to run it in a GUI environment just simply fails, trying to open it via the terminal produces the following error:

File "/usr/bin/open-numismat", line 5, in <module>
    from OpenNumismat import run
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'OpenNumismat'

Downgrading to 1.8.22 works just fine, I did not check the versions in between that and 1.9.4.

I'm not a developer and I don't use Linux, but have you tried the Flatpak package?

Thanks for your input. Flatpak version does work. However, I'm not interested in using the Flatpak version and given the option of running a slightly older version and running Flatpak, I'd choose the older version.

New version (1.9.6) works on Ubuntu (with deb)

[chriscrutch]

Latest version 1.9.7 still fails, but with different errors:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3.11/importlib/metadata/__init__.py", line 563, in from_name
    return next(cls.discover(name=name))
           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
StopIteration

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

@chriscrutch Can you provide your version of Linux?

Can you provide your version of Linux?

Debian trixie, Kernel: Linux 6.6.15-amd64

Did you build your own version or did you use released .deb file?

I had similar problem when I tried to do the local build. Had to create special docker image to be be able to build locally. But downloaded version worked out-of-the-box.

@chriscrutch can you try run pip list --outdated?

Problem may be in dependencies and pip install -U setuptools wheel can help (https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues/5941). It seemed to me that OpenNumismat from .deb was launched from venv, but it doesn’t look right on your system

pip list --outdated brings up quite a list. After I updated setuptools and wheel, this is the list: https://pastebin.com/raw/yF7md65t

Problem with deb-package is in different python versions. Now deb build on Ubuntu 22.04 with python 3.10 and it requered this version as system default on target machine (deb uses system interpreter, but self contain modules and some of it (pillow, numpy) prebuilded for python 3.10).

There will be another build (on Ubuntu 24.04 with python 3.12) to temporarily solve the problem.
