Hi there,

what’s the meaning of this error:

It looks like httplib2 didn’t install correctly. Is it giving you this after each restart? If so you might want to try this from your homeassistant user under the virtual environment if you installed under one.

pip3 install httplib2 --upgrade --target /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant/deps

If that fails you may have another copy of httplib2 installed somewhere you can find that using the following commands

pip3 list
sudo pip3 list
pip list
sudo pip list

each place you find it, remove it by using the same sudo/pip3 combination you did in the last section like this

pip3 remove httplib2
sudo pip3 remove httplib2
pip remove httplib2
sudo pip3 remove httplib2

Then try re-installing using the original install in this email (the one with a target specified).

That process seems to work for me when this type of thing happens.

As a side question to the development team. What is the purpose of using the deps directory if we are under a virtual environment? I thought the benefit of the virtual environment was that we had an isolated directory for these types of files so that we didn’t “cross polinate” with other apps running on our server?

thanks turboc,

the upgrade works, no more error in the logfile.
