Is there anything more specific I can look at that tells me exactly what's missing?

Excellent question.

The message comes from runLeo.py. I would do the following:

- Edit leo/core/runLeo.py in your favorite text editor.

- After line 39, insert these two lines (right before the 'try' statement):

import pdb
pdb.set_trace()

Now invoke `python runLeo.py` from the command line. You should drop into python's pdb debugger.

pdb will (eventually) show the exception that caused the message, so you can just type 'n' until you see the exception.  That may be enough of a hint.  If not, you can rerun `python runLeo.py`, choosing 's' instead of 'n' to trace into the import logic.

HTH. Please let me know if this strategy doesn't work.

The printout should have included the exception, according to the code in runLeo.  Does something else get printed before the message that you quoted?

That was the only thing that got printed.  I've deleted everything and done a full reinstall and that seems to have done the trick.  I suspect the culprit was my PyQt being the incorrect version.

Many thanks.

Kind regards,

Glad to hear it.
