No module named 'configparser' - piscator74 - 2022-02-26

I am installing kodi (latest version 19.3) on Windows machine and when installing e.g. the AddOn WatchedList, I get the following error in the log:
No module named 'configparser'

Any clue what I am missing? I have it installed on quite a few other machines and those do not have this problem.

Log files are best provided in full for troubleshooting, and via pastebin.

you should have a file
Code:
\system\Python\Lib\configparser.py
in your Kodi program folder.  I can't think of any way Kodi does not set the PYTHONPATH properly, but without a full log can't tell anything more.

Log to the pastebin: https://pastebin.com/EkUnLiwD

I did the following:
  1. Cleared out the entire kodi userdata folder
  2. Installed the AddOn (WatchedList)
  3. I get the missing configParser error.

I just reinstalled Kodi (same version) and now it works... Huh

The first time I installed it through a package installer (chocolatey on Windows), but I don't think that is the cause of the problem.
Could local Python installs cause a conflict? (if they are installed after kodi).

You didn't enable debug level logging in the log you posted, so it's missing some stuff.  I have to take a look at service addons, but I'm pretty sure sys.path, where the addon looks for modules, is completely determined by the PYTHONPATH that Kodi passes to it when it starts.  All the standard python library should be in the Kodi folder (on Windows at least).
