Hey All,
In the past, I have managed to get things working (Python3.6). Now that we need to use >3.6 things have gone off the rails.
I have followed the dev guide: https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/en/development_environment.html#developing-on-windows
That doesn’t quite work for me.
I have installed python3.8 by doing the following:
cd /mnt/c/Projects.GitHub/home-assistant
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install python3 python3-venv python3-dev python3-distutils -y
sudo apt install python3.8 python3.8-venv python3.8-dev python3.8-distutils -y
python3.8 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
This has worked, no trouble so far. (It took me a LONG LONG time to get the venv working. I had a lot of trouble with the system python version, until I realised I can do python3.8 -m venv venv and don’t need to do python3 -m venv venv).
Next, when I run
script/setup
I’m greeted by a lovely message about Failed building wheel for nodeend, and also a Failed building wheel for pyyaml (Ignore the Op cancelled, I stopped the install at that point).

I read somewhere that I can try to manually install using pip3.
I did that
pip3 install nodeenv --no-cache-dir
That failed with Security/Operation not allowed.
I then ran that using sudo:
sudo pip3 install nodeenv --no-cache-dir
That installed fine.
I then tried to do the same for pyyaml. That did not work, not even as sudo.
Any ideas guys?
I have deleted the Ubuntu app, tried it using 18.04, tried it with 16.04, no go.
This is so annoying because the feature I want to add is already done, I just cant get the damn environment working…
I haven’t tried dev containers again. I tried those a couple of months ago and couldn’t get that working either.
My last resort is setting up a Hyper-V machine with Ubuntu 18.04 and trying to set up a dev env in there (argghh).
Any help or pointers would be appreciated!
Cheers,
