4 years ago Hey there, thanks... I don't think epr uses ncurses but python package named curses... Have you tried to install curses with pip install curses?
I am not familiar with SailfishOS, I'll try having a look at it...

4 years ago Unfortunately I can't find any curses module using pip. Is that the exact name?
[nemo@Sailfish ~]$ pip install curses

[nemo@Sailfish ~]$ pip3 install curses

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement curses (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for cursesOnce pip is installed and provided that the modules are available for arm, I don't think there are any peculiarities about SailfishOS. This is the packages I currently have:
[nemo@Sailfish ~]$ pip list

Hey there, I've been looking up SailfishOS... And what I found so far is that cmiiw SailfishOS probably is not based on any Linux distribution. As far as I know curses python pkg only supported in Linux and Mac officially and windows unofficially...

4 years ago Uh, no I don't think that's correct. SailfishOS most definitely is Linux. It runs a Linux kernel, has a full blown / and /home, runs Wayland, bash by default, installs rpm packages with zypper, can run flatpaks, and has all base packages other distributions have.
That does not mean epr can run easily on it, perhaps some required dependencies are not available in the repository, but I don't know which ones I should check. I have other ncurses applications running on it at the moment, but I don't know if they use the python curses or the base Linux ncurses. Do you know if somehow python curses is limited to some architectures only, and is available for arm for instance?

4 years ago I believe this might be related: https://github.com/jquast/blessed/issues/99#issuecomment-314238398
Perhaps I would have more luck trying to build Python on my device (I should have the ncurses headers), but that appears risky considering I have already several things running on the python packages shipped in my repo. Not sure yet if I should try, but that's sad, I really wanted to get epr working.
In any case, it is probably not an epr issue, sorry about that.

4 years ago Confirmed here: https://together.jolla.com/question/213413/python-37-missing-curses/?answer=213491#post-id-213491
Our version of Python was compiled without curses support, but this should be fixed soon. In the mean time I could build my own (but I think I'll just wait).
[Edit] In the end I couldn't resist and installed the version of python compiled with curses support that the community already provided. It fixed some apps depending on curses too, like rtv or glances, but unfortunately the issue below persists with epr so maybe there is something specific here in the way epr requirses curses?

4 years ago Just wanted to let you know that in the end, since the issue probably is on my end with Python being built without curses, I installed bk through Rust, which is inspired by your work on epr. It works for me thanks to the easy Rust install, but epr will probably work on my device too once Python is updated.
The problem I have right now is I manually installed a version of Python built with curses, but it's version 3.7 whereas the version I had previously from my official distribution repository was 3.8, and somehow some apps manage to use Python 3.7 (like glances or rtv), but some others probably still try to use the most recent python3 version even though it was not built with curses, like epr and term-tris. Hopefully this will all get solved when Python 3.8 is updated with curses support and I can scrap the community built version of Python 3.7.
First of all, thanks a lot for your work.
eprlooks fantastic and I can't wait to be able to use it.I was trying to install it on SailfishOS using
pipbut I got an error during installation related to_cursesmodule missing. I tried also to execute theepr.pyfile directly fetched from git, but I get a similar issue:Here are the
ncursespackages I have currently instaled:I tried installing
ncurses-libsandncurses-termbut that didn't help. I couldn't see the minimalncursesversionseprdepend on in the README. Does it need a more recent installation ofncurses?
