After python3.8 update I receive error

[georghuber]

Hi, I recently installed the latest python3.8 update (3.8.13) via pkg (FreeBSD).

Now I receive the following error with tvnamer:

tvnamer .

Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: cannot import name '_to_bytes' from 'requests_cache.backends.base' (/usr/local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/requests_cache/backends/base.py)

Unfortunately I am a Python illiterate. Is this a problem with tvnamer?

Many thanks

It looks like tvdb_api was importing some internal functions from requests-cache. So not a problem with tvnamer.

That appears to have been fixed here, so try updating to the latest version:

pip install -U tvdb_api

[georghuber]

Many thanks; I'll contact the maintainer from FreeBSD ports, because their latest tvdb_api version was from a year ago.

Hi,

I still could not get it to work. I am at py39 now but I receive this message (FreeBSD 13.1):

Is this a tvnamer error, or a tvdb_api error?

Many thanks for your help!

That might be a problem with requests-cache, or at least an older version of it. Can you tell me what version you have?

python -c "import requests_cache; print(requests_cache.__version__)"

And are you able to update to a newer version?

[georghuber]

Hi,

thanks for your help. I forgot to mention, that meanwhile I have upgraded python to 3.9 and both tvdb_api and tvnamer are py39-.

Requests cache is (according to your command): 0.9.2

Thanks again,

Georg

[georghuber]

as for the possibility to update to a newer version:

the port I have installed is supposedly "required" by tvdb_api to run (see freshports: https://www.freshports.org/www/py-requests-cache93/). I believe the port maintainer specifically forked this version, after I had troubles with requests_cache (see inital post above).

However, there seems to be a "newer" port available (version number 0.9.5; https://www.freshports.org/www/py-requests-cache/). As I am a total python noob however, I do not know, whether the "new" 0.9.5 port would change/or fix anything. Since the port maintainer created the 0.9.3 fork specifically for tvdb_api, I do not know, whether installing the 0.9.5 port would change anything (as tvdb_api would possibly continue to use the request_cache 0.9.3).

Many thanks for the help, again!

Hi,

the latest info in the FreeBSD ports community I received is:

Looks like they do not support python 3.9 so you should go back to python38.

Add in your make.conf: DEFAULT_VERSIONS= python=3.8 and rebuild all ports.

Do you think that this is worth a shot?

Many thanks!

Georg

tvnamer's classifiers (used for metadata on PyPI) only list python versions up to 3.8, but that doesn't necessarily mean it doesn't work with python 3.9+. Often that just means it hasn't been tested on later versions.

I looked into this error a bit more:

  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/requests_cache/session.py", line 127, in send
    cache_key = self.cache.create_key(request, **kwargs)
TypeError: create_key() got an unexpected keyword argument 'timeout'

I had assumed this was a problem with requests-cache's create_key() function, but couldn't reproduce it. Then I found that tvdb_api is patching that out with a custom key function here: https://github.com/dbr/tvdb_api/blob/ce0382181a9e08a5113bfee0fed2c78f8b1e613f/tvdb_api.py#L702

One way or another, a timeout keyword arg got passed to that function, probably to set the connection timeout in the requests library. requests-cache's create_key() handles variable keyword args (**kwargs), which would include timeout. The purpose of that is to provide the option to use any extra keyword arguments passed to requests.request(). However, the custom create_key() used by tvdb_api only takes a single positional argument, resulting in TypeError: create_key() got an unexpected keyword argument 'timeout'. That's probably more info than you need, but just leaving it here for reference.

Edit: I added a minimal PR that will fix this: https://github.com/dbr/tvdb_api/pull/102

[JWCook]

Meanwhile, I can't actually figure out where that timeout argument is coming from. I don't see it used anywhere in either tvnamer or tvdb_api, so it's possible that updating to the latest version of one or both of them may fix the issue.

Many thanks for looking into it.

I have the latest versions of both installed, otherwise I would not dare to ask in a forum ;-)

Many thanks. I ran tvnamer with the -v option, maybe it is of additional help:

I've created PR dbr/tvdb_api#105 that fixes the issues with new requests-cache.

I've created PR dbr/tvdb_api#105 that fixes the issues with new requests-cache.

Just installed on Debian 12 (bookworm) and applied the above fixes. Works perfectly with python 3.11, THANK YOU!!!

[nosrednawall]

In Debian 12 i installed the pipx with apt and tvnamer with pipx, according to bellow code

sudo apt install pipx
pipx install tvnamer --include-deps
pipx ensurepath

Thanks!
