Hi,

apparently, i cannot use this, because the latest TagMechanic insists on a Python package PySide6, which i cannot install.

python3-pyqt5 v 5.15.10+dfsg-1build6 is installed, check.

Still, the PluginRunner in Sigil says on starting TagMechanic:
Code:
Status: failed

Traceback (most recent call last):
...
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'PySide6'
Error: No module named 'PySide6'
and `sudo pip install pyside6`
probably doesn't like Ubuntu, because
Code:
error: externally-managed-environment
...
    If you wish to install a non-Debian-packaged Python package,
    create a virtual environment ...
which i'm not now ready to do.

I also re-read the release notes:
Quote:
TagMechanic v0.6.3 Latest
Changes in this Release
Fix to work with Qt6.5.2 and Python 3.11.3 for Sigil 2.0
python3-pyqt6 v 6.6.1-2build4 installed, check.
libqt6core6t64:amd64 v 6.4.2+dfsg-21.1build5 installed with lots of libqt6... dependencies, check.

Is that 6.4.2 < 6.5.2 perhaps the cause?

Since that PySide6 requirement was in your original post from 2016, i'm a bit stymied now.
I could wait for the PySide6 packages from Ubuntu 2024.10 to trickle down, but do you perhaps see some other option, like an older version of TM maybe?
