Python plugins disabled in latest betas... any hope for a fix ? Topic is solved

[Logread]

I understand the framework was disabled in beta builds by Gizmocuz on August 26... I assume this was in response to the crashes that appeared after some code change during that month (that I experienced first hand myself) ?

Any hope to see this fixed and python plugins again available going forward in all versions of Domoticz ?

Not that I need to upgrade now, but I like the Python plugin framework so much that I want to make sure it remains a core feature of Domoticz over time

@Logread,

I believe some users on the new Raspbian Stretch OS had problems and I saw a sample stack dump from one but never saw any forum posts so don't know if other people were impacted. I have been running Stretch for a few weeks and it seems fine for me which means I can't really look into the other issue without more details.

A few experienced users have reported that building from source on RPi has been a lot more stable than using the pre-built betas for the last few months so if you want to try that you can (http://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Linux). There is a 'python-enabled' branch you can switch to using the 'git checkout python-enabled' command after cloning the repositiory.

Glad to hear you like the framework

@Dnpwwo,

Thanks for your feedback. I think we are not talking about the same issue (I was one of those users who at some point found out that the pre-built binaries did not work well for some versions, unlike self compiled binaries)... I was actually referring to the commit made by Gizmocuz on august 26 with the title "Disabled Python plugin for now" (https://github.com/domoticz/domoticz/co ... 317c67804f) that left me under the impression that the plugin framework was turned off...

But I just upgraded my development/test domoticz system (running in a Debian VM on a Windows PC) to today's 3.8356 beta pre-built and see that my plugins work so far... So I guess my concern is pointless and I should have checked that before posting

I am restarting this thread since I just saw the following after I upgraded one of my live systems on a Raspberry Pi using the built-in upgrade to the latest beta:

So none of the python plugins on that system are working... confirming my earlier comments about the changes recently made by Gizmocuz. Glad I always make full backups before any upgrade of a live system.

I'm experiencing the same problems. It was mentioned here viewtopic.php?f=65&t=16116 as well.

But I don't want to compile python 3.5(.2) on my Pi. Should I add another repo? Since I don't would like to compile Domoticz myself as well.

When python-plugins got disabled in the beta-branch, the python-event system got disabled as well, since both uses the same dynamically loaded library. So python event-scripts fails regardless of whether python is installed or not. When and if python-plugins and python-events get reinstated, I have no idea...
