It seems you have not installed the required modules. Install them using this command and the try again: python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt

I am having the same issue.

Also, I have the usb module as well,

These links from https://archived.forum.manjaro.org/t/screwed-my-python-install-i-think-by-installing-python-packages-with-sudo-no-venv/150875/2 this post seem relevant, but I'm still a user and would need the readme updated to tell me how to install the prerequisites properly to get this working in a "pyvenv" <---whatever that means :p

[karenmcd]

install these 3 in manjaro via pacman or pamac

python-virtualenv (20.11.0-1) python-importlib-metadata (4.8.1-3) python-zipp (3.8.1-1)

then run the script / or manually type each of the lines found here: https://github.com/ma1co/Sony-PMCA-RE/issues/230

Now I get this result:

   ~/sony-pmca  ./pmca-gui.py                                                 ✔  sony-pmca 

but when I run

python -m tkinter

I get a window pop-up that says "tk", This is Tcl/Tk version 8.6, This should be a cedilla: (c with s under it) - [[[[Click me!]]]] - QUIT

When installing the Python module from the distro package manager I am not really sure where they land and they may quite possibly be installed for a Python version other than your default. Using a virtualenv can be a solution and will probably work. A Python virtual environment is a way to install Python modules independently from your main Python installation.

Start off with a fresh shell session.

If you want to use this repo with a virtualenv, clone it and change into it:

$ git clone https://github.com/ma1co/Sony-PMCA-RE.git
$ cd Sony-PMCA-RE

Make sure you have Python, Pip and Virtualenv installed. You also need tk if you want to use the gui: (For distros other than arch, you need to find the appropriate command)

$ sudo pacman -S python python-pip python-virtualenv tk    # tk is optional

Now create a virtual environment in venv:

$ python -m virtualenv venv

To use the virtualenv you need to activate it. This sets some environment variables to point your python installation to this venv, instead of to your system installation. The virtualenv will stay activated until you close this shell session:

$ source venv/bin/activate

Now you can install the modules from the requirements file:

$ python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

Everything should be set up now and you should be able to either start the command line tool or use the gui:

$ python pmca-console.py    # to start the cli tool
$ python pmca-gui.py        # to start the gui

You need to keep in mind, that every time you want to use the program, you need to activate the virtualenv first.
