Photobooth does not work on "Buster" #163

Open tobiasschuerg opened 5 years ago

tobiasschuerg commented 5 years ago

More an fyi than a real bug.

However, maybe there is a way to disable open_cv temporarily as it is probably only used for image manipulation?

what happens?

pip install -e . results in

Looking in indexes: https://pypi.org/simple, https://www.piwheels.org/simple Obtaining file:///home/pi/photobooth Collecting opencv-python (from photobooth==0.5.dev3+g40f1cda) ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement opencv-python (from photobooth==0.5.dev3+g40f1cda) (from versions: none) ERROR: No matching distribution found for opencv-python (from photobooth==0.5.dev3+g40f1cda)

why

There are no packages for python 2.x, 3.7 and 4.x. See https://github.com/piwheels/packages/issues/28

We don't have Python 2 wheels. We also don't have v4.x releases and we don't have any wheels for Python 3.7 (in Buster).

workaround

So the only work-around is to use old Raspbian Stretch

If you want to use opencv you'll have to use Raspbian Stretch. There sudo pip3 install opencv-python will work and bring in the latest version we have.

This is a known problem: #160 and #151

I have just installed the software on a current buster (RPi 4) and now an opencv package is available.
