I just hit this same issue when this package was installing in a virtualenv during the install for KlipperScreen.

I hit the same error installing KlipperScreen.

error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'vext': 'vext'

Same here on a Raspberry Pi in a virtualenv (not installing KlipperScreen, but some other project)!

error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'vext'

Edit: Initially, I was running

python3 -m venv venv
./venv/bin/pip install -U pip
./venv/bin/pip install -r requirements.txt

(requirements.txt contains a dependency that installs vext and vext.gi)

The problem was solved for me after deleting the venv and retrying, this time actually activating the virtualenv:

python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -U pip
pip install -r requirements.txt
deactivate

I hope this helps someone ^-^

For me the error was non-fatal, but for everyone else on this ticket does is it non fatal, or does it stop the install, or prevent import of "gi" after install ?

[smackoz]

Non fatal error for me and the install / update completes.

Non-fatal for me. KlipperScreen still worked fine despite the install error.
