Cannot install on Arch Linux (Python 3.7+)

[Quoteme]

I tried again and again. I even installed python-dbus, as suggested in the readme.md. But I keep getting this error:

 > pip install spotify-cli-linux --user

Hm, it's strange. It looks like the script doesn't see version.py file. Which python and pip version are you using? sob., 29 gru 2018, 03:46: Luca-Leon Happel <notifications@github.com> napisał(a):

Same error on my machine. I use Python 3.7 and pip 18.1.

[pwittchen]

Does it happen on Arch only? I tested it on the latest Ubuntu LTS and it worked fine. Maybe getting rid of version.py file or changing the way of importing it would help. sob., 29 gru 2018, 18:45: Drilon Buzuku <notifications@github.com> napisał(a):

This may be the solution for this problem: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32423793/importerror-no-module-named-version. Link to another reference: dyve/django-bootstrap-toolkit#71.

I'll check it during the day and possibly release next version with the fix.

[pwittchen]

It's strange, when I changed:

from version import __version__

to:

from .version import __version__

like in suggested threads, then it didn't work on my machine with Ubuntu and I got the same errors as you.

@Quoteme @rhodium45:

Please try to install this package in the following, alternative way:

git clone https://github.com/pwittchen/spotify-cli-linux.git
cd spotify-cli-linux/
pip install -e .

I hope it helps.

[45ninjas]

I had the same issue.
Editing line 9 from
from version import __version__
to
from .version import __version__

resolved the issue for me. Using Python 3.7.1 on Arch

[pwittchen]

Ok, I was able to reproduce this issue on my machine. It's related to Python version - not Arch. Since Python 3.7 notation without a dot during the import is invalid in this case. I just need to find a way to make this script working on all Python versions or create separate releases for different versions.

[pwittchen]

It should be fixed in the latest release: 1.2.4.
Please upgrade your version with: pip install spotify-cli-linux --upgrade
In case, you still have this problem, we can re-open this issue or create a new one.

[hsantanna]

Now it can be installed, but won't run because spotifycli/spotifycli.py line 63, does:

command = raw_input('spotify > ')

NameError: name 'raw_input' is not defined

That's because raw_input is python2 and won't work with python3.

[pwittchen]

@hsantanna Thanks for reporting this. I'll have a look at it.

[pwittchen]

It's strange, because it worked fine for me on both Python versions. Nevertheless, I've added fix here: cf8df53. You can upgrade script and tell me if the problem still occurs.
