Updated wrapt to the latest version and it fixed it for me.

Similar issue not allowing installation because of alexapy 1.26.8, just modified that to 1.25.5 on
custom_components/alexa_media/manifest.json
Restarted HA and then installation went fine. Source:
#1579

Tried the modification of manifest.json and didn't work.

Tried the modification of manifest.json and didn't work.

On this line:
"requirements": ["alexapy==1.25.5", "packaging>=20.3", "wrapt>=1.12.1"],

same here..

Yesterday I did the update of HA and I could reinstall it and now works good.

Supervisor 2023.08.1
Operating System 10.4

[mhenriquezschott]

still same issue...I think is something with my host OS or docker version..I bring my HA from an old 2021 version to this one, after a traumatic upgrade this damn integration is the only one missing!...I don't want to star over just because of this one...

core-2023.8.1
Frontend 20230802.0 - latest
Host Operating System Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS
supervisor-2023.08.1
Docker Version 24.04

I can't remove the integration can someone explain me how?...even removing the folder inside custom_components and the integration still show up...anyway I manually delete the folder, reboot, reinstall the integration and the issue still persist, same message: cannot import name 'formatargspec' from 'inspect' (/usr/local/lib/python3.11/inspect.py)

Any ideas what else to check or what other folder/file/thing can I try to delete to "refresh" HA and allow this thing to install?

Thanks!!

...in my case the fix was really weird, I leave it here in case someone else want to try it...
I think it was do to some requirement on the dock container that was not updated during the HA update..so the real problem was

It seems that the "formatargspec" thing that need to be in inspect.py is not..or something like that...after finding a simillar issue but with other project I found that it was somehow related to the "wrapt" library....I connect to the dock container and did an update:

pip install --upgrade wrapt

After that the integration aske me to re-configure the integration and they start working again...

P.S: to connect to the docker container:

docker exec -it $(docker ps -f name=homeassistant -q) bash
