SOLVED: Indigo 2025.2 Error "No module named 'cgi'

Post by whmoorejr »

I think a quick Google google search fixed this for me... in terminal, run

Code: Select all

pip install legacy-cgi
I restarted Blue Iris and everything is going fine from what I can see.

... "because the cgi module was removed from the Python standard library in Python 3.13. To resolve this, you must either downgrade to Python 3.12 or install the legacy-cgi replacement package to act as a drop-in substitute."

Slightly better solution is to add "legacy-cgi" to the requirements.txt file (create file if necessary). That way you don't need to repeat the pip command for future updates.

Thanks

|ts odd I haven’t seen this on the various installs…
I suspect I have an unreleased version…

Edit:
Well there is an unreleased version.

But also a number of released versions where there is no cgi usage.

What version BlueIris plugin are you running here?

Ooops.

There was 1.3.20 - Indigo 2025.2 tidy up version that I hadn’t released.

It is there now.

Obviously forgotten as was working on a bigger update, but figuring out best way to manage animated images/gifs/webps/mp4. Amongst other already done changes. There is a pre-release on github currently
