openSUSE Leap 42.1 autokey update 0.93.9 is broken... but i fixed the problem

[Andy Lavarre]

Joe hi.

I had autokey 0.93.7 working just fine as previously reported.

WARNING!

OpenSUSE Leap 42.1 autokey update 0.93.9 is broken!!!

I did my weekend OCD task of updating software.

     zypper up

        Oh, cool a new version of autokey. Click y.

!!ASFDFSDGRTSsergserrglk!!!

Wrong answer. It crashes with a host of problems:

ImportError: No module named queue

ImportError: No module named faulthandler

NameError 'gi' is not defined

arrrgh. DO NOT LET YAST2 UPDATE AUTOKEY UNTIL THIS PROBLEM IS FIXED!!!

AutoKey is my key engram capsule. I  remember ONE key password for Autokey and then it starts up all my apps, answers all the politically correct and risk averse questions and password demands while I pour a fresh cuppa. Without it I have to do a host of tappity-tappities and remember a host of complex passwords... Arrgh.

TBTG, this is a good week:

     24 hours later after chasing down a number of rabbit holes—0.0.4, 0.91.1, 0.93.2...— (0.93.7 somehow has disappeared):

I stumbled upon the solution:

https://github.com/autokey-py3/autokey/issues/4
# pip install autokey-py3
Collecting autokey-py3
Downloading autokey-py3-0.93.6.tar.gz (132kB)
100% |████████████████████████████████| 133kB 955kB/s
Installing collected packages: autokey-py3
Running setup.py install for autokey-py3 ... done
Successfully installed autokey-py3-0.93.6

Took about three seconds: It works!

Hope this saves some angst for others... 

:-) 

Cheers, Andy

[Joe]

Thanks for the heads up.

For those of us who have the original version of AutoKey, please (you
and everybody else) mention that you're talking about the -py3 version
near the top of your new threads.

BTW - Where do I look to see what the current version of autokey-py3 is
(without installing the -py3 version)? I looked briefly on the GitHub
page and didn't see it mentioned.

After looking at the change log, I found 0.93.9 in common.py, but didn't
see advertised anywhere.

Click on releases at the top of the code (currently says 13 releases).

You're welcome.

Roger that... 

BTW - Where do I look to see what the current version of autokey-py3 is
(without installing the -py3 version)? I looked briefly on the GitHub
page and didn't see it mentioned.

pip search autokey-py3|grep autokey-py3

  may be the answer:

https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_search/#pip-search

This returns

autokey-py3 (0.93.6)                           - Python 3 port of AutoKey. New features have been implemented since the initial porting.

After looking at the change log, I found 0.93.9 in common.py, but didn't
see advertised anywhere.

All my googling also didn't reveal 0.93.7, which worked since November but was replaced by openSUSE versioning with the faulty 0.93.9. 

So it may be time for me to start sticking with autokey-py3, especially since pip has a grip on versioning... Plus it fixed all the problems I was having that I posted earlier.

The program is awesome. Makes my life so much better. Unfortunately, I haven't figured out where to send money. (Donate link is broken—I've sent the author GuoCi an email).

Cheers, Andy

[Joe]

Thanks. The pip method gave me the same results.

Our donate link was broken too. I removed it awhile ago.

Talking to Troy on -py3, it's unclear if GuoCi (who created the original
-py3 branch) is still involved in the project. He still deserves
contributions for the work he did (assuming he's no longer active).

I'll touch base with Troy about both issues.
