barpyrus does not start anymore on Arch

[apm256]

After an update on Arch Linux, and a subsequent re-install of barpyrus, barpyrus does not start anymore:

$ barpyrus 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/barpyrus", line 33, in <module>
    sys.exit(load_entry_point('barpyrus==0.0.0', 'console_scripts', 'barpyrus')())
  File "/usr/bin/barpyrus", line 25, in importlib_load_entry_point
    return next(matches).load()
  File "/usr/lib/python3.9/importlib/metadata.py", line 77, in load
    module = import_module(match.group('module'))
  File "/usr/lib/python3.9/importlib/__init__.py", line 127, in import_module
    return _bootstrap._gcd_import(name[level:], package, level)
  File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1030, in _gcd_import
  File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1007, in _find_and_load
  File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 972, in _find_and_load_unlocked

  File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1007, in _find_and_load
  File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 984, in _find_and_load_unlocked
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'barpyrus'

Any help would be appreciated!

it's probably something related to the AUR package, as using the barpyrus.py script (by cloning this repos) works. So I close this issue, as it it is probably not the right place to ask!

Sorry for not reacting yet; I'm busy for a while. Maybe the issue is related to the setup.py. The backtrace looks as if this load_entry_point(...) is derived from setup.py; but unfortunately, I'm not really experienced with setup.py and usually just call barpyrus.py from my git clone.

Are you sure you reinstalled barpyrus and rebuilt the package (not using the cached one)? I usually see this happen when there's a Python upgrade in Arch (like there was in November), but AUR packages aren't properly rebuilt. You should have a /usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/barpyrus/ but I suspect you'll still have a /usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/barpyrus/ instead

[apm256]

Thanks for your answer. Yes, I tried to rebuild the package several times, both with yaourt and makepkg.

I checked the python3.9 dir, and it seems ok for me:

$ ls -d /usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/barpyrus-0.0.0-py3.9.egg-info/
/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/barpyrus-0.0.0-py3.9.egg-info

qutebrower, after a rebuild, works fine, for instance :-)

[The-Compiler]

Do you also have a barpyrus folder there (not the *.egg-info)? What do which python3 and python3 -c "import barpyrus; print(barpyrus.__file__)" say? Also, what's the shebang (i.e. the first line) in /usr/bin/barpyrus?

No! and this is probably not normal!

$ find /usr/lib/python* -name "*barpyrus*"
/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/barpyrus-0.0.0-py3.9.egg-info

What do which python3 and python3 -c "import barpyrus; print(barpyrus.__file__)" say? Also, what's the shebang (i.e. the first line) in /usr/bin/barpyrus?

$ which python3
/usr/bin/python3

$ python3 -c "import barpyrus; print(barpyrus.__file__)"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'barpyrus'

$ head -n1 /usr/bin/barpyrus 
#!/usr/bin/python
$ /usr/bin/python --version
Python 3.9.1

Well, this is embarrassing... I wanted to separate the building/packaging in https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/commit/?h=barpyrus-git&id=fa0cefbba0b67ef659276300be5fb04a1062cc7b but apparently forgot to actually include building...

Fixed in https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/commit/?h=barpyrus-git&id=dde299fa2836a6bb8aa6ba80bcd30b830a4d283f now, so I think this can be closed again.

Thanks for fixing and for taking care of the aur package @The-Compiler :-)

Thanks!
