Omnik-Data-Logger no longer working

[manjh]

Data is coming in to Domoticz, works OK.
I am left with one small issue. The errors that flow into the file at /var/mail indicates that the module "six" cannot be found.

When I try to run LiveStats.py from the console, it works OK when I use "python LiveStats.py".

Code: Select all

python LiveStats.py

But when I run it as SUDO, it throws the "six not found" error...

Code: Select all

sudo python LiveStats.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/pi/Inverter-Data-Logger/LiveStats.py", line 7, in <module>
    import InverterExport
  File "/home/pi/Inverter-Data-Logger/InverterExport.py", line 18, in <module>
    from PluginLoader import Plugin
  File "/home/pi/Inverter-Data-Logger/PluginLoader.py", line 3, in <module>
    from six import add_metaclass
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'six'

Apparently the cronjob is run as SUDO as well, hence the error. But even then, it is a bit strange that it does deliver the data!

I installed "pip install six", as mentioned in the installation instructions. When I try "sudo pip install six", it gives me errors...

Code: Select all

sudo pip install six
Requirement already satisfied: six in /usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages (1.16.0)

you can try to use pip3 eg

Code: Select all

sudo pip3 install six

[manjh]

you can try to use pip3 eg

Code: Select all

sudo pip3 install six

Same result. When I run LiveStats.py without sudo, it runs OK. WHen I use sudo, it complains.
Is there a way to run the cronjob without sudo?

Crontab has this entry:
