Reference to _winreg on macOS

brodyhoskins commented 5 years ago

butterflow fails to run on macOS due to a reference to _winreg (which appears to be Windows-specific):

Traceback (most recent call last):

    load_entry_point('butterflow==0.2.4a4', 'console_scripts', 'butterflow')()

Had a horrific build experience on Gentoo (which is predisposed to making this easy to build on Linux), but was able to solve this particular with cp -a ./butterflow/version.py ./butterflow/__init__.py github says that's basically how it was before they added the windows stuff to it, but I'm also fairly sure it would work if the file was blank.

Unfortunately I have the same problem on Ubuntu 16.04, and the solution of @ascendant512 didn't work for me.

zumpchke commented 5 years ago

Same. @alfraises What are you using for slowmotion instead?

ascendant512 commented 5 years ago

OP's error is in butterflow/__init__.py You two can't have the same error as him or me, because once butterflow/__init__.py is emptied (there is no need to copy version to init, just clear the whole file) it is impossible for it to contain any references to winreg. You should probably open a different bug and post your actual error. I tried downloading from git again and followed my own instructions in https://github.com/dthpham/butterflow/issues/69#issuecomment-538602164 and the build process still works, and results in a functional bin/butterflow.

fwiw, it looks like you can checkout the last (I assume stable?) release to get around this error on Ubuntu 16. Guess it will probably work on Mac too.

$ cd butterflow && git checkout 0.2.3

Hello, I believe the issue is now closed — I'm having an issue now with butterflow finding opencv2, but believe it's related to paths and not this issue. Thanks!

I cleared out butterflw/__init__.py (and also tried git checkout 0.2.3) and I still get references to winreg. What is strange is that this error is said to be coming from a file that does not exist.
