File2 is not a valid CodeChannel - Part Deux

davidjryan

I did not want to hijack Ant1's previous thread so I have created a new one with a similar problem. All I am trying to do is run the examples in GitHub https://github.com/Duet3D/dsf-python/tree/main/examples, specifically the subscribe to object model example, and I receive the same error "File2 is not a valid CodeChannel".

My setup:
Duet 6HC 3.5.1 in SBC mode with a Raspberry Pi 5 running the latest Duet Bookworm image

I have performed the following (per the "pip won't install dsf-python-3.5.1rc1 thread"):

pi@A1000-1:~/.local/lib/python3.11/site-packages $  sudo pip3 install --break-system-packages --pre dsf-python
Looking in indexes: https://pypi.org/simple, https://www.piwheels.org/simple

pi@A1000-1:~/.local/lib/python3.11/site-packages $

From the examples folder, I have been able to run, without issue:
custom_http_endpoint.py
custom_m_codes.py
send_simple_code.py

When I try to run:
subscribe_object_model.py

I get:

What simple thing am I missing or what typo did I perform?

The Pi is dedicated to the Duet and only has a single user. I'd like to have all packages system-wide and not have to use a venv (hence, I used the --break-system-packages option for pip install).

I am nowhere near the level of you folks on here so please type slowly so I can understand...

@davidjryan By looking at the traceback, it seems you have an older version of dsf-python installed for the pi user (in /home/pi/.local/lib/python3.11/site-packages/dsf/) so python uses this one instead of the system-wide one installed in /usr/local/lib/python3.11/dist-packages.

Try running pip3 uninstall dsf-python without sudo to remove it.

Also, please note that an APT package has been released to install dsf-python on Debian Bookworm.
This can be installed using sudo apt install python3-dsf-python
However, there is no change since the 3.5.1rc1 version that you have currently installed using pip3 --break-system-packages so you should be fine.

@Falcounet That did it, thanks!
I had performed:
sudo apt install python3-dsf-python
but didn't include the snippet of that in my post. I guess it didn't matter since I had the older version of dsf-python installed. I do install that version via a script when setting up the Pi/Duet "out of the box". I'll update my script to use python3-dsf-python instead.

Thanks again!
