Python 3.8 Fail to initdb Excalibur 0.4.3 on Windows 10

[kylelt]

After installing excalibur ( Already have a working camelot installation)

PS C:\Users\klewer> python.exe --version Python 3.8.0

PS C:\Users\klewer> python -m camelot --version __main__.py, version 0.10.1

PS C:\Users\klewer> python -m excalibur --version __main__.py, version 0.4.3

I tried to initdb, the following exception was raised:

PS C:\Users\klewer> excalibur initdb Traceback (most recent call last): File "c:\users\klewer\appdata\local\programs\python\python38\lib\runpy.py", line 192, in _run_module_as_main return _run_code(code, main_globals, None, File "c:\users\klewer\appdata\local\programs\python\python38\lib\runpy.py", line 85, in _run_code exec(code, run_globals) File "C:\Users\klewer\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\Scripts\excalibur.exe\__main__.py", line 4, in <module> File "c:\users\klewer\appdata\local\programs\python\python38\lib\site-packages\excalibur\cli.py", line 10, in <module> from .tasks import split, extract File "c:\users\klewer\appdata\local\programs\python\python38\lib\site-packages\excalibur\tasks.py", line 13, in <module> from camelot.ext.ghostscript import Ghostscript ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'camelot.ext' PS C:\Users\klewer> python3.exe

To fix this in my environment,

I changed the line:

https://github.com/camelot-dev/excalibur/blob/97eed2654bd8e842b38250417c644c77d0155b7e/excalibur/tasks.py#L9

to from ghostscript import Ghostscript

This worked in my environment, I do not know the implications for all environments.

Thanks for your time, and the library it has been very helpful.

Same issue happens on ubuntu, tested on: Linux ubuntu 5.11.0-36-generic. The fix by @kylelt works! Cheers!

Same in Arch Linux (5.14.12-arch1-1) with Python 3.9

The fix worked.
