No module named 'frogmouth'

[RomanoZumbe]

I installed it via on Arch from the AUR via yay. After starting I just get the following error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/frogmouth", line 5, in
from frogmouth.app.app import run
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'frogmouth'

Unfortunately I don't know Arch, AUR or yay so it's very hard to say what the issue is here. Is this some third party packaging system?

[RomanoZumbe]

It is just a set of instructions to build the software. But I'll remove it for now and try to install via pip. This is probably more a problem of whoever created the AUR script

[RomanoZumbe]

Installing via PIP didn't work either. When installing as user I didn't have the command available on my path. After installing as root I get the following error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/frogmouth", line 5, in <module>
    from frogmouth.app.app import run
  File "/home/romano/.local/lib/python3.11/site-packages/frogmouth/app/__init__.py", line 3, in <module>
    from .app import run

Do you have available, or are you able to install, pipx? I'm not too familiar with how all the different GNU/Linux distributions manage Python packaging these days, and I especially don't know Arch, so it's tricky for me to offer advice there. But I suspect you'll have an easier time of getting Frogmouth itself installed if you install and set up using pipx.

I am on Arch and can confirm Frogmouth works without error with pipx

[davep]

Thanks @sanders41

@RomanoZumbe Is this still an issue you have? How did you get on with the suggestion made above a couple of weeks ago?

[Sush-ruta]

@davep Installing via AUR gives the No module named 'frogmouth' error. Installing via pipx works flawlessly. :)

[davep]

Thanks for confirming @Sush-ruta

For those here with knowledge of such things (I'm totally ignorant of what AUR is), what exactly is an AUR, what or who is responsible for it, and is it something that a third party has put together and which might be broken and requires the author or maintainer to correct it?

[Sush-ruta]

@davep This is the AUR PKGBUILD script. I posted a comment highlighting the problem. Hope something comes out of this.

[davep]

@Sush-ruta That's very kind of you, thank you.

Closing as stale.
