Not working on Ubuntu 20.04 #10

Closed Mattia98 closed 4 years ago

Mattia98 commented 4 years ago

Since Ubuntu 20.04 deprecated python2 it is no longer shipped and the paths are different. pip is now pip3 and python is now python3. Also, after changing the shebang and launching the program I get: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'configargparse'

Am I missing something or is this project just not python3 ready?

Here pip output for completeness

Yeah, you're missing something ;-)

Reading between the lines of your report, it looks like you ran pip install as yourself, then sudo nxBender to run it, right?

The problem with that is, pip install will have installed the dependencies to your ~. So if you run nxBender as yourself, Python will find the dependencies. But if you run as root, it won't look in your ~, and so it won't find them.

The best way to install it is actually to use the setup.py - I've updated the README to reflect this. You can do sudo pip3 install ., and then you should get an nxBender executable on your PATH. This will also avoid any shebang issues.

The shebangs are correct for the modern distros I use, ie. where /usr/bin/python has been either Python2 or Python3 according to the user's preference. That said, I don't intend to support Py2 anymore, so changing them to python3 would be eminently reasonable.

Yes, you where right. I deleted the installation and cloned it back down and ran the setup.py as root like you suggested. That works for me. For me right now running python does nothing. There is a package though that adds a symlink to python3. 

$ python

Command 'python' not found, did you mean:

  command 'python3' from deb python3
  command 'python' from deb python-is-python3

Anyway, thank you very much for this. The official client is just a PITA.
