Syntax Error | Inkscape 1.0

[erikscott128]

I get the following syntax error when running in Inkscape 1.0

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "dimensions.py", line 7, in <module>
    import inkscapeMadeEasy_Draw as inkDraw
  File "C:\Users\Erik Scott\AppData\Roaming\inkscape\extensions\inkscapeMadeEasy_Draw.py", line 44, in <module>
    import textextLib.textext as textext
  File "C:\Users\Erik Scott\AppData\Roaming\inkscape\extensions\textextLib\textext.py", line 120
    except StandardError, e:
                        ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I have both the dimensions and InkscapeMadeEasy files installed in the user extensions directory. Error occurs when hitting "apply" or "live preview."

Can confirm that I'm experiencing this on elementary OS 5.0 with inkscape 1.0 (1.0+r73+1) Full error

I am currently experiencing this issue as well. Did you find a work around?

[fsmMLK]

This is an issue when you use the extension with inkscape v1.0. Inkscape 1.0 now uses python 3 and there is a syntax change in except statements. My plugins are not yet adapted to run with v.10. I am no currently working on the update, but it might take some time to be able to push the official update to github.

A hotfix you can try is to replace any instance of:

except something, something_else:

by

except something as something_else:

(replace the comma with 'as')

I replaced all commas with as in textext.py where all the errors were coming from. There were 3. And am now getting this error:

inkscape\extensions\textextLib\textext.py", line 63, in import os, sys, tempfile, traceback, glob, re, md5, copy ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'md5'
