No response

Potentially relevant info: I just tried running manim-slides wizard but that command also failed.

Hello! I guess you are on Windows and using a virtualenv (which is nice!)?

If so, can you show the output of pip freeze?

Also, can you show the top of the error message in your video? I recognize this error, but I cannot remember where I saw it...

[johanohly]

Yes! I am using python 3.12.3 and its' standard venv module for the virtualenv.

The error message consists of this block of text repeated over and over:

pip freeze:

[jeertmans]

Thanks! Did you try with Python 3.11?

Just to check if Python 3.12 is the issue

[johanohly]

Python 3.11 gives me the same error

Ok, so I also encountered this issue with my PR #377.

Can you try presenting with manim-slides present [SCENE]... --hide-info-window?

[johanohly]

That fixes it.

Thanks for the update @JohnnyJTH, hopefully I will find a better fix and push it to #377 :-)

Does manim-slides wizard still crash?

Does manim-slides wizard still crash?

Sorry for not replying earlier, manim-slides wizard works with 3.11 at least

[jeertmans]

No issue, thanks for the reply @JohnnyJTH!
