Build not reproducible, breaking on prompt_toolkit

[bradyt]

I think you're allowing pip3 to grab incompatible versions of libraries?

> plaid2text
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/plaid2text", line 2, in <module>
    from plaid2text.plaid2text import main;main()
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/plaid2text/plaid2text.py", line 19, in <module>
    from plaid2text.renderers import LedgerRenderer, BeancountRenderer

    from prompt_toolkit.contrib.completers.filesystem import PathCompleter
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'prompt_toolkit.contrib.completers.filesystem'

Maybe the following is relevant?

> pip3 show prompt_toolkit
Name: prompt-toolkit
Version: 2.0.9
Summary: Library for building powerful interactive command lines in Python
Home-page: https://github.com/jonathanslenders/python-prompt-toolkit
Author: Jonathan Slenders
Author-email: UNKNOWN
License: BSD-3-Clause
Location: /usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages
Requires: wcwidth, six
Required-by: plaid2text, ipython

Maybe I need to have version 2.1.0 here.

[bradyt]

Maybe add freeze dependencies to requirements.txt and commit?

[bradyt]

Ah, breaks on prompt_toolkit starting at 2.0.0.

An IRCer suggested,

18:02 try: import new.module; except ...: import old.module ## FIXME: remove when EVERYONE has upgraded to module ≥1.2.3
18:04 I usually include a sunset clause as well
18:04 # remove after 2020-06-01 or after xxx

@bradyt were you able to figured out how to solve this error? I keep having the same issue when i run plaid2text without any arguments (I've tried with both prompt-toolkit versions 3.0.2 - latest - and 2.0.10)

[bradyt]

I've no recollection, and have not considered Plaid recently, sorry.

[vrohlfs]

@bradyt Got it. Any particular reason why folks are not using beancount and plaid lately? Most of the discussions online date back 2-3 years.

Also, found this in one of your forks that solved the issue: '- from prompt_toolkit.contrib.completers.filesystem import PathCompleter' '- from prompt_toolkit.contrib.completers.base import Completer, Completion' '+ from prompt_toolkit.completion.filesystem import PathCompleter' '+ from prompt_toolkit.completion.base import Completer, Completion'

Thanks for such a quick response.

@bradyt any input would be appreciated. Just wanted to confirm this would be a good path towards managing my own finances.

I'm not sure I understand the question. And one might say it's getting off topic from the issue title. Perhaps a better venue for your additional questions, would be IRC? There are some links at https://plaintextaccounting.org/#newsdiscussion.
