Unable to install plugin with recent Python versions (>=3.10)

hauke96 commented 1 year ago

When I install the plugin in QGIS 3.32.2 with Python 3.11.5 on Arch Linux, the stack trace (s. below) appears. From my research, the error is here since collections.MutableMapping was moved from collections to collections.abc with Python 3.10.

My personal fix: I copied the latest protobuf folder from GitHub and used the descriptor_pb2.py from this repo (which is somehow generated?). This means fixing the error is not very urgent for me, but probably annoying for other people :wink:

The stack trace:

Couldn't load plugin 'vector_tiles_reader' due to an error when calling its classFactory() method

I'm also unable to install the plugin (Flatpak on Fedora 38). Same error.

Python version: 3.10.13 (main, Nov 10 2011, 15:00:00) [GCC 12.2.0] QGIS version: 3.32.3-Lima Lima, exported

For context, here's the Python changelog entry documenting the move.

Same issue her, but restricted to latest versions apt-get will offer me (I know nothing about Python).

Python version: 3.10.12 (main, Nov 20 2023, 15:14:05) [GCC 11.4.0] QGIS version: 3.28.15-Firenze Firenze, 252ad49ddcb Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS

Any work-arounds or suggested alternative plug-ins for accessing Ordnance Survey tiles with URLs like https://api.os.uk/maps/vector/v1/vts?key=*** ?

I believe this plugin is now redundant, as QGIS now reads vector tiles natively.

sfkeller commented 9 months ago

Thanks for your feedback Tom and all: So you're saying there's a need for such a plugin? We have a hard time maintaining plugins like this in our spare time, so no promises...

@sfkeller Apologies for the typo in my message: "I believe this plugin is now redundant".

@sfkeller Apologies for the typo in my message: "I believe this plugin is now redundant".

All right. Thanks, Tom. May I take this opportunity to ask: Do you know the best way to mark a deprecated plugin like this, which is published in the repository https://plugins.qgis.org/, as "deprecated" or to delete it completely there?
