Python 3 error

With the introduction of Indigo 2022.1, my key fobs have stopped working. The error message:

Script Error control page "0 Common" script error in file fDoorRFID OPEN.py:
Script Error No module named 'commands'
Script Error Exception Traceback (most recent call shown last):

The script referred to has been purged of tabs, and there is no mention of 'commands'., but for the record, "fDoorRFID OPEN.py) follows:

Code: Select all

# opens fDoor if fDoor interlock variable is true; interlock true for 1 sec

fDoorInterlock = indigo.variables[911502153].getValue(bool)

 fDoorInterlock = indigo.variables[911502153].getValue(bool)

This script was written for me, and is way beyond my very limited python skillls.
I'd be very grateful for any suggestions.
Bob

Run this in Terminal:

Code: Select all

pip3 install commands


In terminal, I upgraded to the current version of pip, and as instructed, I wrote "pip install commands", and the following message was returned:

Successfully installed pip-22.1.1
bSrvr1911:~ macMini1110$ pip3 install commands
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement commands (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for commands
bSrvr1911:~ macMini1110$

I'm afraid I need more direction.
As always, thank you for your patience and help.
Bob

Do this and post the output.

Code: Select all

pip show commands


clicking on "Select all" loads this support thread.
do I paste it somewhere, and then execute the 'pip show commands' in terminal? that doesn't make any sense.

You run it in Terminal, just like the previous command I posted.

Is this what you are asking for?

What the heck is all that other junk you posted? The WARNING line should have been the end of it. I have no idea what all that other stuff is.

You said someone else wrote this script for you? You need to get them to fix it. There's a module called "commands" which the script uses, which was installed somewhere in your Python 2 install. But it's not a standard package and it doesn't exist for Python3. So you're stuck.

Even though it made no sense, I did what I understood your direction to be: in terminal, I typed 'pip show commands' and pressed enter; next I clicked on 'select all' next to code in this thread, pasted it in terminal, and pressed enter; finally, in terminal, cmd A, cmd C, and back to this thread, cmd V.
If you don't see an obvious solution, I'm afraid I'm screwed: it was written by berkinet, and he seems to have disappeared.

I think there is/was a bug with Select All - I had a problem as well.

Anyway, all that aside, we can add looking at this script to the pile and see if anyone can update it for you.

Found it. https://docs.python.org/2.7/library/com ... e-commands

That module was deprecated in Python 2.6. No wonder I've never seen it in 2.7 or later.

Change "commands" on lines 38, 47, and 73 to "subprocess", like:

Wow. Nice job Joe.

I can get back into my house - how nice is that? I've been transformed from despair to elation.
It's not at all clear to me why I'm so fortunate to have your assistance.
Thank you!
