Hey,

first I want to thank you. I really like inwx and I really appreciate that your wrote an certbot plugin for inwx dns verification (I need a wildcard certificate and for this I need dns verification). Unfortunately certbot cant find the inwx plugin.

After the installation of the inwx plugin I execute the following command certbot certonly -a certbot-dns-inwx:dns-inwx -d *.mydomain.com --dry-run

and get the following error message:

Saving debug log to /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log
Could not choose appropriate plugin: The requested certbot-dns-inwx:dns-inwx plugin does not appear to be installed
The requested certbot-dns-inwx:dns-inwx plugin does not appear to be installed

Here are some information about my system: OS: Debian Stretch 9.4 Python 2: Version 2.7.13 Python 3: Version 3.5.3 Certbot: Verison 0.23.0 (from the stretch backports repo) python-acme: 0.22.2 (from the stretch backports repo)

I am not a python expert, but I do have some experience in programming and I am working as an IT specialist so please do not hesitate to ask. I am more then happy to provide any information you need.

Best regards Florian

Hey,

have you watched out to run the setup via Python 3? Certbot is only using Python 3 nowadays, but iirc you can still install it in a Python 2 environment via pip by accident.

I have updated the README with some improved installation instructions (which I also learned the hard way :-) ). See 3dbd249.

Hey,

thank you for your quick reply :)

You were right I totally over looked the fact, that certbot uses Python 3.

I used the command python setup.py install to install the inwx plugin. Unfortunately on most Linux distributions the command python defaults to python2.7 (symlink), so the plugin got installed for the python 2.7 namespace.

I installed the plugin with python3 setup.py install again and now everything works as expected. :) Maybe you want to note this in your README.md

Thank your for your time and the hint with Python 3. I think we can close this.

Best regards Florian

Did so, as I mentioned above. :-)

I'm glad you got it working and thanks for reporting!

Edit: no...the Python 3 part got lost. whoops. Another commit incoming :-P
