Instructions need updating for Python 3.9

[salfter]

Hardware Setup OctoPrint host: Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 on a Waveshare CM4-NANO-A printer: AM8 with SKR 1.4 Turbo

Describe the problem Python 3.9 breaks the version of Heatshrink that the instructions call for installing.

Resolution

https://github.com/p3p/pyheatshrink hasn't been updated yet, but https://github.com/Thynix/pyheatshrink has. It has some submodules within, though, and has no releases, so we can't just grab a tarball from GitHub. You can make an installable tarball with this:

(cd /tmp && docker run "-v${PWD}:/a" devsisters/tarballize https://github.com/Thynix/pyheatshrink master) && sudo chown `whoami` /tmp/master.tar.xz && mv /tmp/master.tar.xz pyheatshrink-master.tar.xz

If you'd rather not do the above, I've created a tarball and hosted it on my website at https://alfter.us/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/pyheatshrink-92ffa4e.tar.xz.

Once you have the tarball, move it over to your OctoPrint host (if it isn't already there), install some prerequisites, and install the updated Heatshrink in your virtual environment:

sudo apt install python3-dev && octoprint/bin/pip install pyheatshrink-master.tar.xz

You should then be able to continue as usual: install marlin-binary-protocol, etc.

What occurs if you are using Python 3.9 and this hasn't been fixed?

I ask as I am able to install the plugin on 3.9.13 (aarch64) without any apparent issue. I have not, however, attempted to utilize it as my printer's firmware is current already.

On 64-bit raspbian it will fail to compile heatshrink and fail the marlin-binary-protocol package.

@salfter thank you for this workaround!

+1 for fixing this issue ;)

using 3.10 i get this error:

error: legacy-install-failure

× Encountered error while trying to install package.

+1 for adding this to the instructions. I've been chasing this problem around since yesterday, and constantly running into the problem where heatshrink wouldn't install, so marlin-binary-protocol wouldn't install! This worked!

These were the commands I did. Results are irrelevant, since they worked as expected.

su pi 
cd ~
wget https://alfter.us/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/pyheatshrink-92ffa4e.tar.xz
~/oprint/bin/pip install pyheatshrink-92ffa4e.tar.xz
~/oprint/bin/pip install marlin-binary-protocol

I opted to use his tar, rather than making my own. Least effort required. I tried with a fresh tar from github, but it fails just like the normal install. Maybe you should save his tar here, and give the alt instructions with that link. That would have saved me a day of trying to figure it out.

This board is a new install from 3 days ago, on new hardware. This is the only thing I've run into problems with. I have two other boards running OctoPrint and Firmware updater, but I did those in the past. They run on RPi/Raspbian and Rock64/Slackware(Slarm64).

And, thanks for the cool plugin. It has saved me a lot of walking to/from the machines.

Curious if anyone's tried this module fork?

Could this be the same issue trying to install on my BTT SKR 3 EZ?

The instructions say I have to install heatshrink from within the virtual environment for octoprint but doesn't explain what that means or how to do it. I assumed it means run it from within the hidden .octoprint directory so I ran this command: ~/.octoprint $ sudo ../venv/bin/pip3 install https://github.com/p3p/pyheatshrink/releases/download/0.3.3 /pyheatshrink-pip.zip

Any idea what this resulting load of nonsense means?

That's unrelated to this issue.

That looks like an incompatibility with Python 3.11 (that include used to be available in older releases of python afaik)
