Hey ronie,...

Thx for your intervention,...

but i still have issues with ""import from zip"" the file : script.module.beautifulsoup4-4.6.0.0.zip

after manual install of the beautifulsoup addon,
i have got this error :

Code:
ImportError: No module named html.entities

after manual add of html lib from python 3 install folder,..

i have this issue

Code:
Error Type: <type 'exceptions.ValueError'>

                                            Error Contents: chr() arg not in range(256)

""and it s apparenetly related to the fact that Python 2 chr give a one character string in the ASCII range. This is an 8-bit string, so the maximum parameter value for
chr is 255.... In Python 3 you'll get a unicode character and unicode code points can go up to much higher values.""

...

have you an idea..?

hard to tell without seeing the code and a full Debug Log.

looking at the error alone, i'd say your not using a py3 version of kodi... but that's just a guess.

do you consider leia 18.1 version as a python3 kodi version..?

RE: Tools for kodi video scrap addon in python 3 - ronie - 2019-04-03

nope, you need to install the 'feature_python3' test build of kodi.
they can be found here: http://mirrors.kodi.tv/test-builds/

@ronie
I am trying to convert a couple of addons to py3 so that I may submit to the official repo.
I tried installing the script.common.plugin.cache-2.5.10.zip from

Code:
http://mirrors.kodi.tv/addons/migration/script.common.plugin.cache/

It immediately gives an error on install
from the log file

Code:
- NOTE: IGNORING THIS CAN LEAD TO MEMORY LEAKS!

Error Type: <class 'AttributeError'>

Error Contents: 'str' object has no attribute 'decode'

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "/home/gujal/.kodi/addons/script.common.plugin.cache/default.py", line 40, in <module>

 run()

File "/home/gujal/.kodi/addons/script.common.plugin.cache/default.py", line 30, in run

 sys.path = [settings.getAddonInfo('path').decode('utf-8') + "/lib"] + sys.path

AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'decode'

-->End of Python script error report<--

From the error, it looks like the module is still using python2 calls and is not updated for python3
Here is the full debug log

Please advise

correct, script.common.plugin.cache has not been updated to python3.

RE: Tools for kodi video scrap addon in python 3 - alamata - 2019-04-05

@ronie

i come back to you because i still have issue with the script.module.beautifulsoup4-4.6.0.0.zip and the KodiSetup-20190305-66746cbe-feature_python3-x64.exe

i cant install from zip

the original addon.xml of beautifulsoup4-4.6.0.0 has xbmc.python" version="2.25.0"

i have modified this to xbmc.python" version="2.26.0"

but with no succes

and when i add manually script.module.beautifulsoup4-4.6.0.0
i have an import error on from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

SOLUTION :
i have put some lib from python 3 install folder in my addon folder to do the trick
