Problem with python 3.7

Hi,
After upgrade to python Python 3.7.5
I have problem with two components which could not load

  • cloud
  • homekit

Error during setup of component homekit
Traceback (most recent call last):

What is wrong?

I guess not the answer you’re looking for but a solution nonetheless. move to Docker. Then you won’t have to worry about maintaining Python or anything else, the container takes care of this for you.
I was in the same seat and after too much to fix following an upgrade to python 3.5 I gave up and moved everything to docker containers, including influxdb, grafana, and much more. so much easier…
