hello,

could you post the output of qtpyvcp --info

I'm not sure about the --no-deps option

if that is to skip installing qtpyvcp when installing probe_basic maybe because its already installed, yo can just delete Line 24 from setup.py

thanks

Hello, for some reason the qtpyvcp version installed is the python2 but in in the python3 system

so maybe thats because pip install qtpyvcp that still points to python2

so maybe if you could try to uninstall qtpyvcp from pip and install from git

python3 -m pip uninstall  qtpyvcp # run more than once to be sure its uninstalled
cd ~/dev
git clone git://github.com/kcjengr/qtpyvcp.git
cd qtpyvcp
qcompile .
python3 -m pip install --editable .

Closing as over a year old and reads as python version mixup. Noting that Python 2 is now end of life.
