Wat?

[kenrestivo]

Want to know what the workaround was?

sudo rm /usr/share/weechat/python/queue.py

And now matrix loads and all the plugins do too. WTF?

[poljar]

While we do use the Queue module it isn't part of the project. I can't really answer how you installed queue.py there.

[wlallemand]

I had the same problem, queue.py is part of the weechat-scripts package in debian, which cause this issue.

[cpiber]

Same on WeeChat 3.0

[strk]

Same on WeeChat 3.4

I don't think there's much weechat-matrix can do about this. In WeeChats script repo the queue.py script has been renamed to cmdqueue.py to fix the problem, so the remaining problem is with the weechat-scripts package in your distro. Either uninstall this weechat-scripts package, or report a bug to Debian or follow the Ubuntu bug report here.
