'python3 tartube.py' doesn't work for me either, but 'python tartube.py' works just fine.

Why does python3 code only run in the python2 interpreter? It's a mystery to me, too :)

[mbnoimi]

python tartube.py doesn't work too!

$ python tartube.py 
Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: No module named lib
$ python --version

I fixed 'python3 tartube.py', but it causes some new Python errors, so now I'm trying to fix them.

I uploaded some new code. On a fresh install of Debian, I used the following procedure to install Tartube:

su
apt-get update
apt install python3-pip
exit
python3 -m pip install tartube

Using code downloaded directly from github, I used this command to run Tartube without installing anything:

python3 tartube.py

This time I didn't test pip but I run python3 tartube.py and the result still the same!

$ python3 tartube.py

Which operating system are you using?

Linux Mint 19.3 xfce

Which operating system are you using?

[axcore]

Hmmm... I just made a new installation of Mint xfce 19.1. I didn't install any software, just downloaded Tartube v0.1.007 from git (using the green 'Clone or download' button), extracted the zip file, changed directory, and ran 'python3 tartube.py'

I get this trying to run it in Windows 7

# tartube.py

I haven't tried running anything on MS Windows yet. The link below describes how to install PyGObject, but it's not a simple install:

https://pygobject.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started.html

At some point I'll create a proper installer for MS Windows, but it's pointless at the moment because of the frequent crashes.

[axcore]

The installer for MS Windows is now available. I hope it works for you!
