Plugin could not be loaded under OpenSuse Tumbleweed

[ThomasJunk]

I installed requests as instructed. But Plugin did not work. Solution:

For whatever reason if you use pip in a Open Suse (Tumbleweed) default installation, sudo pip install requests installs requests for python3 while when entering python on the commandline, python2 is used.

Solution:

sudo zypper in python2-requests installs the correct python2 package.

Ticket could be marked as solved.

Unless python3 comes as default for Open Suse, I want to leave this here for future reference, in case in the next 1.5 years someone rans into this issue.

For those on Ubuntu, you need to do: sudo apt install python-requests

That will install the requests library and make it available to the system python2 that terminator relies on.
