Can't Run Script - Python2/3 errors

[EtherealSerge]

Hi not sure if you even still update this project, but I stumbled across it and wanted to give it a shot. However after install, running the script results in errors. From what I can gather the script was supposed to be run in Python 2 but my Chromebook has Python 3. I tried running the script with Python 2 but then it can't access uinput correctly.

I then tried to futurize the script via Python 3, but that only cleaned up the Print function errors. It's now spitting out TypeErrors; seemingly it's an issue between bytes and strings. I've muddled through the script myself trying to fix it but I don't know enough and am stuck.

Any help would be appreciated!

Hi @EtherealSerge,

Sorry I don't have a Chromebook now, so this project was kind of abandoned. Now I have updated it to support Python3. Can you please try cloning this branch and install from there ?

Steps:

git clone https://github.com/kishorv06/ChromePad -b python3-migration
cd ChromePad
./install.sh

# Finally
sudo chromepad

Could you help me solve it?

Hey @sanniweb,

Which version of Chrome OS are you running and what is the device model ? Also make sure that you are running these commands in the native Chrome OS terminal (crosh) and not in the linux environment provided for development.
