Pysol dosen't run in Ubuntu 22.04

[feenix3k]

It would seem a python module named 'formatter' is no longer available. PysolFC will not start without it,

The "formatter" module of Python was removed in Python 3.10. We've since updated PySolFC to account for its absence, though versions of PySolFC prior to 2.14.0 are not compatible with Python 3.10.

In order to fix this, you can either update PySolFC to 2.14.0 or later, or downgrade Python to 3.9 or earlier.

Just to confirm, the latest PySolFC releases do not have this issue. It sounds like the people maintaining the app bundles for Ubuntu are behind a few releases, and if you run across this issue (with any distribution), I'd suggest contacting them. I only maintain the releases posted on the main PySolFC site.

Will leave this open for a little bit so people are aware of this.

I added an FAQ page to the main website, with this issue being the first item in it.

Closing now.
