Python 3.6 support is deprecated in virtualenv

[mehdiheidari]

Hi @MichaIng, is there any anticipated date to release DietPi version 6.27?
I don't want to mess around my home assistant instance due to deprecation of python 3.6.

I'm not expert in managing installations within virtual environment and unfortunately couldn't find a reliable source to follow and upgrade pyenv and python versions within home assistant.

Any help/guidance from other users is highly appreciated!

Many thanks in advance
Mehdi

This works great:

Code: Select all

dietpi-backup # Please update/create a backup first
G_CONFIG_INJECT 'DEV_GITBRANCH=' 'DEV_GITBRANCH=dev' /DietPi/dietpi.txt
dietpi-update 1
dietpi-software reinstall 157
htop # Wait until CPU usage of HA process goes down
systemctl restart home-assistant # Required currently since first start fails to pull some Python module, no idea why...
htop # Wait until CPU usage of HA process goes down

If everything works well, you might want to leave it but have the next stable DietPi release installed over the development version:
G_CONFIG_INJECT 'DEV_GITBRANCH=' 'DEV_GITBRANCH=master' /DietPi/dietpi.txt

If something does not work as expected, please report, so I'll assist quickly, or you might want to restore the backup:
dietpi-backup -1

Thanks a lot @novitibo,
It worked like a charm.

Much appreciate your help.

Cheers!

Ah, this solved the issue on Stretch as well? Good to know, so no workaround required, at least not with our Python3.8 implementation .

Okay, so the quick-update script will be added tonight, then the beta is ready to be pushed.

EDIT: Ah sorry mixed it up with @Ziocharly, so Stretch test/workaround still outstanding.

Sorry but not working for me:

G_CONFIG_INJECT 'DEV_GITBRANCH=' 'DEV_GITBRANCH=dev' /DietPi/dietpi.txt # Does not work had to change dietpi.txt manually
dietpi-update 1 # Update to beta version ok.
dietpi-software reinstall 157 # I get thease errors and dosn´t update:

Exact same problem, during the process I can see:

Code: Select all

[  OK  ] DietPi-Software | G_AGI gcc libc6-dev make zlib1g-dev libbz2-dev libreadline-dev libssl-dev libsqlite3-dev libffi-dev
[  OK  ] DietPi-Software | G_THREAD: All threads finished
[  OK  ] DietPi-Software | tar xf 157.tar 
[  OK  ] DietPi-Software | rm 157.tar
dash: 2: source: not found
dash: 3: pyenv: not found
dash: 4: pyenv: not found

and then:

Code: Select all

ERROR: Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/more_itertools-8.0.2.dist-info'

Same here. Any ideas how to resolve this? I'm currently without my beloved homeassistant since the dietpi-backup restore didn't work either...

Thanks and best regards,

@mail2rst
Which RPi version do you try it on and are you on DietPi v6.27.2 already?

Also please paste the error messages or logs you face in order to be able to investigate the issue. I'm currently running test installs on RPi2.

[mail2rst]

DietPi v6.27.2 (dev) version i am using

after that i used your instruction

sed -i '/local ha_pyenv_activation/s/source/\./' /DietPi/dietpi/dietpi-software
dietpi-software install 157

and system able to install home assistant after that & confirmed it is working properly. but still proFTP not working
