[beesuns]

Kali Linux version: Linux kali 5.9.0-kali5-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.9.15-1kali1 (2020-12-18) x86_64 GNU/Linux pip version: pip 20.3.3 from /home/kali/.local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/pip (python 3.9) qtchart installed: python3-pyqt5.qtchart is already the newest version (5.15.2+dfsg-1).

But when I run sudo pip3 install QScintilla gps3 dronekit manuf python-dateutil numpy matplotlib, it gave error message.

If you're not doing anything with drones and Mavlink, you can leave mavlink out.

@ghostop14 Thanks for your reply. I am not sure if this was related to above mentioned problem. I got this error message when I tried to run sparrow-wifi:

beesuns you were on the right track. Is it possible /usr/local/lib/python3.9 isn't in your PYTHONPATH? Looks like it's already installed there. Also looks like you have a python reference above to /home/kali/.local/lib/python3.9. Sounds like your python path may be the problem.
