Unable to import library ("AttributeError: type object 'VBoxEventType' has no attribute 'progress_event'")

nicl83 commented 4 years ago

ENVIRONMENT

Operating System: Windows 10 2004 build 19041.572
Python version: Python 3.8.6, installed from python.org
VirtualBox version: Version 6.1.16 r140961 (Qt5.6.2)
VirtualBox SDK version: Unknown, latest from website (vboxapisetup.py --version returns 1.0)
Location where VirtualBox SDK is installed: C:\Users(username)\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\
virtualbox-python / pyvbox version: Built from latest source from GitHub at time of reporting issue (2.1.0?)
[x] Happens in latest master branch? Yes

SUMMARY

I'm no longer able to import the library following yesterday's update (2.1.0). Attempting to import the library, either in a program or in the Python interpreter on the command line, causes an error and the program terminates. (The interpreter does not terminate, but the library is not imported, and cannot be used.)

I have tried reinstalling VirtualBox both from source and from pip - no change. I have also tried reinstalling the VirtualBox API - again, no change.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

Start the Python interpreter. (Run python3 in your terminal of choice)
Type import virtualbox and press enter.
The error should occur.

EXPECTED RESULTS

The library is imported, and I am able to use VirtualBox-related functionality in my code.

ACTUAL RESULTS

An error occurs, and the library is not imported.

Rolling back to 2.0.0 (pip uninstall virtualbox followed by pip install -Iv virtualbox=2.0.0) does not resolve this issue, for some reason.

Confirming that this is an issue specifically with the code generator, I'll get to it today.

Fixed in 2.1.1
