[bug] Waypaper wont start anymore

[bknightInfo]

Hi,

Waypaper no longer starts for me as it generates a error with i assume is a python error

System
OS: ArchLinux 6.12.6
Mem: 32 Gig

Waypaper: 2.4-1

Error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/waypaper", line 5, in
from waypaper.main import run
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'waypaper'

Is this AUR installation? If so, was it -git version or regular? I think installation via pipx will fix this, but in general, this should not be a problem...

Aur but non -git version

waypaper-git has a different problem
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/waypaper", line 5, in
from waypaper.main import run
File "/usr/lib/python3.13/site-packages/waypaper/main.py", line 10, in
from waypaper.app import App
File "/usr/lib/python3.13/site-packages/waypaper/app.py", line 9, in
import imageio
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'imageio'

installing via pipx does work

After the update to python 3.13, you need to re-install waypaper and the python AUR dependencies
yay -Sy python-imageio python-screeninfo
(and probably others)

after reinstalling waypaper is working

Yeah, it's related to new python probably. Here's reddit discussion of this issue. So, either just reinstall waypaper, or try this:

pacman -Qoq /usr/lib/python3.12
yay -S $(pacman -Qoq /usr/lib/python3.12) --answerclean All

So I'll assume this issue is resolved. Not sure what we can do on our side here.
