I've been trying to install an .mpy mod on my bbs. I'm running across a python error that I haven't been able to fix. I'm hoping someone here might be able to lead me in the right direction.

Background:
Mystic: v1.12 A48 2022/07/15
Ubuntu: 22.04.1
Python: 2.7.15

After installing the mod per the instructions, I used the GY command to run it from the Main Menu. When I do run it, I get the following error:

PYTHON ERROR (/home/pi/mystic/themes/default/scripts/********.mpy)
File "/home/pi/mystic/themes/default/scripts/********.mpy", line 10, in <module> from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
ImportError: No module named bs4

I've verified that all of the modules are installed as the pip2 install -r requirements.txt command used verifies this. The Python Demo's included with Mystic all run with out a problem.

Here's what I've tried:
1. From the Mystic wiki, it talks about issues with stock python versions (especially Ubuntu) having issues with Mystic python. I did try to recompile python per the wiki, but ran into an issue with the libreadline-gplv2-dev library apparently being deprecated and unavailable. I haven't been able to find any old packages that will install.
2. I verified that the required python modules are installed. Could it be
that python can't find them?

I'm hoping someone here can provide some direction or suggestions!

Thanks for taking the time to read this epistle!

I've been trying to install an .mpy mod on my bbs. I'm running across a python error that I haven't been able to fix. I'm hoping someone here might be able to lead me in the right direction.

I hate that my reply won't be that helpful; there is some issue, that g00r00 knows is happening, where you can't run BOTH Python 2 and Python 3 scripts in the same user session.

What happens is when your .mpy loads external libraries, if you've already run a Py2 script and then try to run a Py3 script, Mystic kicks some errors - usually EAccessViolation errors - and the user is disconnected.

At my bbS, I've had to revert to only using Python 2 at the moment - g00 doesn't seem to KNOW what the issue is, and... not that he's dancing around it, but it seems like we don't have a current 'fix'.

Its intermittent - but I can recreate it on both Linux Raspberry Pi Mystic systems and Linux x86 Mystic systems. It simply seems like you have to pick which version to run and only run that... I can get both py2 and py3 scripts to run fine - so long as I don't use both.

Hopefully this will get ironed out; but as such, these are the woes we live with when running the alpha versions of Mystic. If you want the best functioning software, stick to a47 until the FINAL a48 release - I know that doesn't help you, but... theres no fix ATM.

Lucky that you didn't uninstall ALL python/python3 packages, remove all pip/pip3 packages, compile from source the 2.7 version from the Mystic wiki, have to reinstall all those pip packages and lost 2 weeks - ask me how I know. :P

What script is it? I'm sure the community could help here - in fact, maybe theres some good in creating a site, msg base or other thing where we w0rk together to convert py2 scripts to py3.

I'd be willing to help with that both on the code side and putting together what mods/scripts ppl want converted most.

What seems to have worked for me and even a few people I have helped with this is to copy the compiled libs in to your /mystic directory. Don't forget to change this in the mystic -cfg. Then it starts working. I made sure to compile both of them and have each one. I used the newest ones at the time and have zero issues with them.

I also run on Ubuntu so if you would a copy of the already compiled bins let me know

Hey Ogg, I didn't notice this before - in your instance, it seems like you don't have beatiful soup installed.

You can do this by typing;

pip install BeautifulSoup
pip3 install BeautifulSoup

(or if I'm wrong...;)

pip install bs4
pip3 install bs4

After that, that script might get along further than before - but as I stated you might have issues still if yer running py2 and py3 scripts in the same user call.

Python scripts need their pre-requisite modules installed (thru pip/pip3) - and yer missing Beautiful Soup.

Everything tends to work better if you don't run it as root user. This will take some setup since you have been running it as a root user and will need some permission adjustments as well.

Through sudo on startup of pc.

I think this is your problem. Use setcap cap_net_bind or whatever it is
to give the 'mis' binary access to lower ports, and then use your
regular user to launch 'mis' /without/ using sudo.

Originally tried that. What finally fixed the problem I was writing about was not to start 'mis' as root in systemd. I changed the owner in mis.systemd to my user name and rebooted. Then I did not have the problem any more.

Thanks for the comment!

Thanks - it was for another user, but I think his issue was actually the pip path not being in his environment variable/PATH.

Anyway, thanks for the response mL!!

Everything tends to work better if you don't run it as root user. This will take some setup since you have been running it as a root user and will need some permission adjustments as well. If you need assistance

Thanks for the tip! I actually went into the mis.service file and replaced "root" with my account name. I rebooted and the particular error went away. It was a permissions problem.
