Python 3.12 RC from winsows store broke trakts

[panaris]

Installation through pip works fine though.

[iamkroot]

How exactly did you install trakt-scrobbler? With pipx this shouldn't happen

[panaris]

I removed old python version. Installed lates windows store version. Removed pipx and the folder $home/.local/pipx. Then tried to install trakts through pipx. Everything went well but init failed. Then tried to uninstall via pipx and install though pip and same thing happened. Trakts help works fine.

[iamkroot]

Hmm, I don't see anything in the 3.12 changelogs about the pkg_resources package. Maybe try googling the error message?

How to update and which version of Plexapi are you using now?

How to update and which version of Plexapi are you using now?

@bulletproof2k the current thread is about Python 3.12, and not a new version of trakt scrobbler. There haven't been any recent changes to the plex api usage in here. So if you're facing problems, please raise an issue (or if you already created it and I forgot, add a bump comment to it)

Updating the python installation should ideally require no changes to this scrobbler. But alas, we don't live in such a perfect world.

[bulletproof2k]

No problem, thanks for the quick response 👍

[iamkroot]

@panaris Thanks for the bug report. This was a bug in an upstream dependency Diaoul/babelfish#46 (it uses a deprecated module which broke in Python3.12). I have pushed a fix for this, and it should work in Python3.12 now.
Install from branch:

1. Stop the scrobbler with trakts stop
2. Run pipx install --force --pip-args='--force-reinstall' git+https://github.com/iamkroot/trakt-scrobbler.git@master
3. Start scrobbler with trakts start

(Or, wait for a new version)

with the new push

That's weird, I thought I already fixed it... Could you please paste the output of trakts init -vvv

[MarsAgainstVenus]

So what is the fix for this? Trying to install it now and receiving the same error.

Never mind. This did work for me:

pipx install --force --pip-args='--force-reinstall' git+https://github.com/iamkroot/trakt-scrobbler.git@master

Just a heads up that this is still occurring with fresh installs.

[iamkroot]

@MarsAgainstVenus are installing from the master as shown here? There is no stable release with the fix yet.

EDIT: Good to see that you got it working. Will pin this issue for now.

I followed this but I get this error:

ERROR: Invalid requirement: "'--force-reinstall'" Cannot determine package name from spec 'git+https://github.com/iamkroot/trakt-scrobbler.git@master'. Check package spec for errors.

I'm a beginner, so I apologize for knowing very little.

:/

EDIT:
Sorry for my english, is a terrible B1.

I've found a solution here!!

But so I get this error

I'll informate you if I get other error... for now all right!! :D

Since OP never responded to you and since I'm experiencing the same problem with Python 3.12.4 (installed via python's "full installer", not windows store as issue title states) here's my output from trakts init -vvv:

In the meantime, I'll use one of the solutions above. Failing that I'll just downgrade python.

I doubt this is relevant to this issue but might be worth mentioning that python in my PATH is set to a bash script that runs py instead, which at the time of writing just defaults to running the version mentioned above. Should be no difference.

[iamkroot]

@JWWolstenholme what version of the scrobbler are you running (output of trakts -V)? This should have been fixed in the latest beta (v1.7.0-beta1)

Install beta version:

1. Stop the scrobbler with trakts stop
2. pipx uninstall trakt-scrobbler
3. Run pipx install --pip-args='--pre' trakt-scrobbler==1.7.0b1
4. Start scrobbler with trakts start

[JWWolstenholme]

@iamkroot I was running 1.6.3 as I didn't go out of my way to specify any version during install. I can also confirm that 1.6.3 works on python backdated to 3.11.9.
I've tested out v1.7.0-beta1 on python 3.12.4 and can confirm that works. Thanks for the help!

Note that I had to correct step 3. in your instructions to pipx install --pip-args=--pre trakt-scrobbler==1.7.0b1 (something to do with pip-args starting with -- I think?):

C:\Users\redacted>pipx install --pip-args='--pre' trakt-scrobbler==1.7.0b1

Yep this is still happening to me, the stable and beta branches didnt work, same error. But the pipx install --force --pip-args='--force-reinstall' git+https://github.com/iamkroot/trakt-scrobbler.git@master command did the trick.
