Sigil 0.9.18: no plugin working anymore

roger64 · 11-16-2019, 09:24 PM

Solved (see lower down)

Hi

On Archlinux, Sigil 0.9.18, Qt 5.13.2. from 3.11.2019

No plugin works anymore, including the testplugin, so I am unable to send any useful information.

Only message: (in French) Le démarrage du greffon a échoué.

Have you made sure you have installed the python3 properly (and all of its libraries and with the python packages needed)?

That error message means you tried to run python but it failed for some reason. If you open a xterm app and type python3, is it found in your path? Have you selected it in your manage plugins?

Code:

[roger@lenovo ~]$ python3
Python 3.8.0 (default, Oct 23 2019, 18:51:26) 
[GCC 9.2.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>

sorry for the alarm

I checked the path for python, it targeted 3.7.
I clicked on "automatic" in the general preferences, and have now again a good path.

Apologies for this mishap.

I wondered when Arch was going to make the jump to Python 3.8.

I actually remembered to test Sigil with Python 3.8 on Arch before it was released. There's a few new features that might get incorporated into future Sigil builds. Namely PYTHONCACHEPREFIX and os.add_dll_directory.
