ESP32 micropython problem with managing packages

[Dubik]

Hi, I haven't use micropython for half a year. Before I used Generic micropython 1.21.0 for esp32 wroom module. I used additional libraries EEPROM and uModbus in zip file. After flashing microphython I installed it by managing pakages from local files in tools menu in Thonny. Now I found new version of micropython 1.24.1 and decided to install it. But when I entered managing packages and installing libraries from zip files I generates error:

install install /media/dubik/reszta/Projekty/Neotech/ethernet/micropython/ESP32/Ostateczne/micropython-modbus-develop.zip
Looking in indexes: http://127.0.0.1:36628

I compare with old modules and observed that it has installed "Install" package version 1.3.5. When I uninstall uModbus from this module and install again from local zip file it works. When I search "install" package in pypi there is no module found. I checked in Thonny 4.1.2 and  4.1.7. I also tried to install libraries with REPL script and mip.install('uModbus') but it returns:

>>> import mip
>>> mip.install('uModbus')
Installing uModbus (latest) from https://micropython.org/pi/v2 to /lib
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

  File "mip/__init__.py", line 1, in _install_json
  File "requests/__init__.py", line 201, in get
  File "requests/__init__.py", line 79, in request
OSError: -202

When in version 4.1.2 in manage packages I search in pypi uModbus, there is no results, but when I do it in version 4.1.7 there is packeage but during installation it returns:

install --progress-bar off uModbus
Error 'type' object is not subscriptable

Can anybody help me?

Cheers!  (You didn't "sign", put your name in the message, Google Groups hides the email header...)

The PyPI API has changed recently and that's why Thonny 4.1.2 didn't return any results when you searched for packages. Thonny 4.1.7 fixed  that. Now I don't know much about your particular error message but I would suggest you try installing from Tools > open system shell... using pip to see if you get a more complete error message.

On the other hand, there was this issue: https://github.com/thonny/thonny/issues/2979 and maybe Aivar can give more information if something else changed recently.

best regards,
