Hi guys,

it has been about half a year since I fired up my VM the last time and there was huge progress at Bitcraze and Github! Really happy to see that!

I found out that the CF Client runs on Python3 now which I can call using "python3 cfclient", but it always says

CRITICAL:cfclient.cfclient:No pyusb installation found, exiting!

I followed this guide to (re)install the current PyUSB release 1.0.0rc1 but without any success so far:

http://blog.laczik.org/install-pyusb-1- ... t-version/

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get remove python-usb
sudo apt-get install python-pip
sudo pip install --upgrade pyusb==1.0.0rc1

Although Python correctly states 1.0.0rc1 to be accessible the cfclient doesn't recognize it.

Any suggestions?

We messed up a bit with the release of the python client, that requires python3, without upgrading the VM. Sorry about that!

If you are using VM V0.6 you basically have two options if you want to run the latest version of the python client.

1. Follow the excellent instruction (https://github.com/bitcraze/bitcraze-vm ... -185517690) by Fred and upgrade your current VM. This is pretty simple and takes 5-10 minutes. If you have made modifications to the code or have other files that are saved on the VM disk, this is probably a good option.

2. Download the latest VM, V0.8. We applied the the necessary updates to the VM and released it as V0.8, check out https://wiki.bitcraze.io/projects:virtualmachine:index for download links. If you just want a VM that works this might be the best option.

Thanks kristoffer for updating the VM, this is the better option for me since I messed up my Eclipse setup as well and planned to clone my and Bitcraze's repos from scratch...

Looking forward to jumping into the CF project again...
