[omidsa1]

System Details:

• Operating System: Gnu/Linu
• Distro(For GNU/Linux and BSD users): Arch
• Desktop Environment(For GNU/Linux and BSD users): Plasma
• Persepolis Version: 3.2.0
• How do you install Persepolis? AUR

From the log, python can't assert that Persepolis exists! So I took a look at executable at /usr/bin/persepolis and it revealed python path was set to that of my anaconda installation (#!/home/omid/anaconda3/bin/python3.7).

Finally changing it to /usr/bin/python3.7 solved the problem and Persepolis Started Successfully.

Hello Persepolis uses python setup tools for installation. Python-setup-tools creates that file in bin folder automatically. Do you change anything in your python settings or ...?

I suffer the same issue after a system upgrade on Manjaro. Don't know what went wrong.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/persepolis", line 6, in <module>
    from pkg_resources import load_entry_point

pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'persepolis==3.2.0' distribution was not found and is required by the application

This is my /usr/bin/persepolis

#!/usr/bin/python
# EASY-INSTALL-ENTRY-SCRIPT: 'persepolis==3.2.0','console_scripts','persepolis'
__requires__ = 'persepolis==3.2.0'
import re
import sys
from pkg_resources import load_entry_point

if __name__ == '__main__':
    sys.argv[0] = re.sub(r'(-script\.pyw?|\.exe)?$', '', sys.argv[0])
    sys.exit(
        load_entry_point('persepolis==3.2.0', 'console_scripts', 'persepolis')()
    )

@crimx It seems that Manjaro recently switched to Python 3.8 and you must rebuild persepolis package to make it work with new python version. It's not related to persepolis but all python packages must rebuild again after every new python version come along. just rebuild it, and it would be fine again.

Thanks! Confirm worked after a fresh reinstall.
