StrictYaml Issue

[cruisiejay]

This is not a bug, I think this is just me being a rusher, but I am trying to debug my own issue trying to install this,

I have run the requirments.txt against pip and install all the features, I am now in the process of running the sooty.py file

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "Sooty.py", line 17, in <module>
    import strictyaml
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'strictyaml

But when checking

root@kali:/home/kali/Desktop# pip install strictyaml
Requirement already satisfied: strictyaml in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (1.0.6)
Requirement already satisfied: python-dateutil>=2.6.0 in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (from strictyaml) (2.8.1)

Looks like I already have it installed?

I wonder if you know how I could look at resolving this! in the mean time

Kind Regards,

Jay,

Hi @cruisiejay, it looks like the issue could be the Python version.

The logs shows that the strictyaml package is in your /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages folder, ie. Python 2.7. Sooty requires Python 3.3 or higher for a lot of the features, so this may be the cause.

Would you be able to try it with Python 3 and see if the error still exists?

Please check your installed python version indeed. python --version if that spits out 2.7.x as @TheresAFewConors states, try the following: python3 --version

Otherwise you might need to check if you even have python 3 installed on your system. A lot of the more "stable" linux distros still come with python 2.7 and so does MacOS. You need to manually install python 3. With mac, this is easily done and managed through homebrew

Looks like Kali is being used, so Py2.7 is the default afaik.

Happy monday guys, Thank you for the pointers so far

Version Check root@kali:/home/kali/Desktop# python --version Python 2.7.17 root@kali:/home/kali/Desktop# python3 --version Python 3.7.6

Using python3

root@kali:/home/kali/Desktop/Sooty# python3 Sooty.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "Sooty.py", line 17, in <module> import strictyaml"

uninstalling and reinstalling the strictyaml module lead to no avail

Could you run a pip3 list in the same directory. Also, I'm curious if you've installed virtual environment beforehand or just ran the pip install -r requirements.txt directly.

@naveci I feel like such a layer 8 right now, nailed it using the wrong pip, completely forgot pip3 existed............

Solution: use pip3....
