"No module named pip3"

[marto68]

I tried to install the client on a raspberry pi 4.

After running the "./create_venv.sh" command I got an error saying there was no module named pip3 in the venv folder. Which there is.

I have updated python to 3.12

Running pip - - version and pip3 - - version returns "pip24. 0 from usr/local/lib/python3.12/site-packages/pip (python 3.12)" for both commands.

I'm really not sure what I'm doing wrong. Would anyone have any ideas?

What OS and version are you running?

Most likely your are running Debian / Rasbian and are just missing the python3-pip-package.

Hi @marto68

like @schorsch3000 has already explained you'll need to install the pip package. The ./create_env.sh does use the system packages. Only ./run_in_venv.sh does use the virtual environment currently :)

Kind Regards, Kalle

Thanks for getting back so quickly.

I just checked and have the latest python3-pip package.

I'm running raspbian bookworm with desktop on a raspberry pi 4, 4g Still having same problem

[marto68]

Unfortunately, I still have the same problem.

Do you recommend a walk through to get raspbian ready for the client install? ie: install and update to python 3 and pip3 correctly, and also venv virtual environment?

Obviously the guides I found and using are wrong or not current.

I would really like to get this client going, so any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks

There are some assumptions in the create_venv.sh file that appear to be incompatable with Ubuntu at least.

if command -v python3 &> /dev/null
then
    PYTHON_CMD=python3
    PIP_CMD=pip3
else
    PYTHON_CMD=python
    PIP_CMD=pip
#fi

At least for Ubuntu 22.04 when using modules from the default repositories, this works:

  PYTHON_CMD=python3
  PIP_CMD=pip

[marto68]

Thanks Duberry! That fix worked on Raspbian Bookworm as well.

[schorsch3000]

that should be fixed with #38 would you be willing to check that its works out of the box for you @marto68 ?

[marto68]

Not a problem @schorsch3000 I will get back soon.

Hi @schorsch3000,

Unfortunately it didn't work for me.

After deleting the venv, I overwrote 2 files and copied 1 from #38 (I hope that is what you wanted me to do)

I ran - ./create_venv.sh
and received - venv/bin/python3: No module named pip3

Cheers

Update- sorry, I realized it was already committed so I cloned the repo again and did a fresh install as you suggested.

Still cant find Pip3 - /venv/bin/python3: No module named pip3

Same error on macOS with python3 installed from brew as well as the python3 from xcode-select

Solution: replace pip3 in line 22 of find_cmds.sh with pip

[derkalle4]

He, that should be worth a pull request. Good finding :)

That would fix it only for situations where a pip3 command is there and executeable but its not working and there is a pip executeable. It also would break things for working setups with a pip3 command.

In the case where is a pip3 command but that should or can not be used one should either just fix the setup or use the PIP_CMD env var :-)

I think changing pip3 to pip should not break anything. it's used as the python module like this: python3 -m pip3 install ./ there's no pip3 module, it's pip module. pip3 is the executable.

you are correct, its called by module name, not as a comment. i'll rework that!
