First it was complaining about kpsewhich not being available. After installing texlive-bin it is still complaining ;)

The error with having texlive installed is:

Traceback (most recent call last):

    return _open_existing(opener, filename, mode, locate=kpsewhich, **kwargs)

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

• Do have any idea what's going wrong? Since I know nothing about Python, it's hard for me to give an better hint. If you can point be anywhere, I'll go... ^^
• termpdf.log keeps being empty even after logging.basicConfig(filename='termpdf.log',level=logging.DEBUG)
• Perhaps the dependency on texlive should also be mentioned in README.md.

The error without having texlive installed is:

I have the same issue, but after installing bibtool (noted as an optional dependency) it would display my pdf successfully.

However, there is now a bibtool warning shown on the console "underneath" where termpdf.py draws and is seen on exit:

*** BibTool WARNING: File  not found.

^{(notice the double space)} Which is similar to the Python error before installing texlive:

...
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: ''
...

Not sure what that's about. What file is not found? Null file?

I am getting the same error on Ubuntu 20.04

[ashishbinu]

I am using manjaro and had the same issue. But after installing bibtool from aur it shows pdf in terminal. It still gives this error in terminal after closing the pdf using q.

Same issue, Debian 11. Running this fixed it for me: apt-get install texlive texlive-latex-extra texlive-latex-recommended

Same issue on mac os.

Apologies for all this! Someone (me) needs to go through and clean up the code. This was the first thing I ever tried to make out python, and it shows...
