Always an Update

[SamyBencherif]

Ptop asks me to update every time I run it.

samy-mbp-5:~ samybencherif$ ptop
A new version is available, would you like to update (Y/N) ? Y

However after running the update, I am in fact not updated.

samy-mbp-5:~ samybencherif$ ptop -v
ptop 1.0

For anyone else experiencing this issue it can be temporarily patched by disabling the updater altogether.

@SamyBencherif thanks for the info. Are you running it on Mac OS X ? Sadly, I did not get a macbook to test the auto-upgrade behaviour. Can you attach more details why the installation is failing on the first place during an auto upgrade, send the logs at ~/.ptop.logs so that i can take a look.

[SamyBencherif]

Yes I am running on mac. Here is ptop.log. Please let me know if I can be of more assistance.

[darxtrix]

I guess I got the issue. Your system python version is 3.6 and your pip version points to the one with python 2.7 which is inferred by

Installing ptop ...
[ ... ]
Using /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages
Finished processing dependencies for ptop==1.1

If you can fix pip to point to the one with Python 3.6, ptop will be able to upgrade.

Moreover do one more thing if its possible for you,

$ cd /tmp/FVZWD0INN0
$ sudo python setup.py install

and send me the logs.

Thanks !

[SamyBencherif]

It looks like the inverse situation to me.

samy-mbp-5:~ samybencherif$ pip --version
pip 18.1 from [...] (python 3.6)
samy-mbp-5:~ samybencherif$ python --version
Python 2.7.10

Should I change pip back to Python2?

Running the following appears to have successfully updated ptop.

$ cd /tmp/FVZWD0INN0
$ sudo python3 setup.py install

Here is the new ptop.log.

[darxtrix]

Ah,my bad. pip should ideally point to system Python. Anyways, thanks for the help. I will keep this open for sometime to check if it is happening to other people as well running mac os x.

[magicpotion]

it happens to me, on ubuntu 16

$ pip --version
pip 8.1.1 from /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (python 2.7)
$ python --version
Python 2.7.12

[darxtrix]

hi @magicpotion, can you please post the logs here for the upgrade operation.

Thanks for adding this. Can you send me these also: $ which ptop $ ptop -v $ which python and the contents in the file ~/.ptop.log

[magicpotion]

$ which ptop
/home/chris/.local/bin/ptop
$ ptop -v
Old version of cryptography ([1, 2, 3]) may cause slowdown.
  warnings.warn(warning, RequestsDependencyWarning)
ptop 1.0
$ which python

nothing interesting in logs

[darxtrix]

Okay, the new version of ptop should be there at /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin. You have all the site-packages installed at .local instead of the global library path and you are using the local ptop binary at .local/bin/ptop. Currently its updated at the system wide level only. You can create a bash alias to refer to the global ptop.

[magicpotion]

thanks it's the default pip install mode, please include --system in docs also what about installing ptop in virtual env?

[darxtrix]

It works in virtualenv, i have tested it there. You can activate virtualenv and do a pip install. I don't about the usage of --system flag, can you elaborate ?

For me pip install at system level. Version of pip is 18.0 and there is no such flag. I see you are using 8.0 version of pip, it being outdated might be the problem here or it might have something to do with python2. You can try upgrading pip and installing. Let me know if the problem persists. Thanks !
