Install problem on Windows Python 3.11

[SonGokussj4]

I've activated venv and tried install from requirements.txt

python -m venv .venv
.venv/scripts/activate
python -m pip install -U pip
python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

...
ERROR: Cannot install -r .\requirements.txt (line 2) and starlette==0.37.1 because these package versions have conflicting dependencies.

The conflict is caused by:
    The user requested starlette==0.37.1
    fastapi 0.109.2 depends on starlette<0.37.0 and >=0.36.3

[SonGokussj4]

Fixed by python -m pip install -r requirements.txt --no-deps

But then when running as described in README.md

(.venv) PS (xxx) - (~\GIT\Spotifyte) [main] $ python -m .\
.git                .venv               CONTRIBUTING.md     README.md           src
.github             CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md  LICENSE             requirements.txt
(.venv) PS (xxx) - (~\GIT\Spotifyte) [main] $ python -m .\src\main.py
C:\Users\xxx\GIT\Spotifyte\.venv\Scripts\python.exe: Relative module names not supported

(.venv) PS (xxx) - (~\GIT\Spotifyte) [main] $ cd src

(.venv) PS (xxx) - (~\GIT\Spotifyte\src) $ python -m .\main.py
C:\Users\xxx\GIT\Spotifyte\.venv\Scripts\python.exe: Relative module names not supported

Fixed by python -m src.main but then No module named PySide6

 $ python -m src.main
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<frozen runpy>", line 198, in _run_module_as_main
  File "<frozen runpy>", line 88, in _run_code
  File "C:\Users\xxx\GIT\Spotifyte\src\main.py", line 3, in <module>
    from PySide6.QtCore import Qt, Signal, QEasingCurve, QUrl
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'PySide6'

Fixed by adding PySide6 to requirements.txt and reinstalling all.

But then another problem. Not sure how to continue.

$ python -m src.main

The shiboken error is a known PySide6 glitch. I recommend uninstalling PySide6, shiboken, etc and then re-installing them. This has existed since PySide6 days sadly. I'd try to build future apps using maybe PyQt6.

Also, I'd recommend uninstalling shiboken and downloading shiboken 6.3.0 version as I read some articles on how their issue got fixed.

pip install shiboken6==6.3.0

Ref: marcelotduarte/cx_Freeze#665 , ImportError with PySide6/shiboken6

Thanks

[rohankishore]

I might migrate this entire app to PyQt6 since PySide6 has a lot of issues which the devs are just ignoring.

[Bibhav48]

Also, I'd recommend uninstalling shiboken and downloading shiboken 6.3.0 version as I read some articles on how their issue got fixed.

@rohankishore shiboken6==6.3.0 is for Python <3.11, >=3.6 as stated here. So, obviouslyPython >=3.11 won't support it.

[SonGokussj4]

Degrading to python3.10 and running python -m pip install -U PySide6 shiboken6==6.3.0 PyQt5 solved a few turmoils.
But now

Spotifyte\.venv310\lib\site-packages\qfluentwidgets\common\config.py", line 8, in <module>
    import darkdetect
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'darkdetect'

So I installed one lib next to another. Because I was able to install from -r requirements.txt only with --no-deps, dependencies didn't install.

I had to do 2 things.

$ python -m pip install -U PySide6 shiboken6==6.3.0 PyQt5 darkdetect pypiwin32 spotipy brotli pycryptodomex websockets spotdl

This installed (I hope) all missing libraries.

Secondly, if I want to run the program from the root directory with python -m src.main, I had to change

# src.main.py

# before
import artist
import playlist
from song import Song

# to
from src import artist
from src import playlist
from src.song import Song

Now it finally does something.
But? I've ended with this and don't know how to continue.

$ python -m src.main

[rohankishore]

Download the codes and try again. I've migrated to pyqt6. Also, download pyqt fluent widgets like this (after uninstalling existing one):

pip install "PyQt6-Fluent-Widgets[full]" -i https://pypi.org/simple/

[SonGokussj4]

Please specify which Python version should I use
And update requirements.txt with valid requirements.
And update README for the correct process.

# with python3.11 as default
python -m venv .venv
.venv/scripts/activate
python -m pip install -U pip
python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

INFO: pip is looking at multiple versions of fastapi to determine which version is compatible with other requirements. This could take a while.
ERROR: Cannot install -r .\requirements.txt (line 2) and starlette==0.37.1 because these package versions have conflicting dependencies.

[rohankishore]

Will do it. I have no issues running it on my pc, so does a lot of others. I used python 3.11

[SonGokussj4]

I've removed all ==xxx versions from requirements and added

PyQt6
PyQt6-Fluent-Widgets[full]

Edited the src.main.py as I've stated above.

neither python -m src.main or python src/main.py or from the directory src running python -m main or python ./main.py does not work.

Ends with this message.

$ python -m src.main

[rohankishore]

Did you just try running the main.py via any ide? Maybe some python parsing issues?

[SonGokussj4]

No, everything through windows terminal. How do you run it? Because your Readme is just not working. You can't run module with .py extension.

[rohankishore]

Try it with any ide. It should work that way maybe.
