Try replacing line 477 with:

Code: Select all

from PySide2 import QtXml

If that fails then you need to install the missing part of PySide2 IMHO.

Edit: if it is missing, try:

Code: Select all

sudo apt install python3-pyside2.qtxml

Hmm...thanks had to install it. No mention of that lib in the deps list. Is this new? Or just something needed to run macros included in the official Addon manager.

Is there a wiki or forum where the "Oh BTW, you need this now" list is kept. Or does one just stumble on these things... If not maybe there should be...

There's no real way to maintain such a list: macro authors can import whatever they like in their code.

I know. But, it isn't like it never happens with core code...

For the core, the list of dependencies is here:

(We don't worry about it on Windows because it's just coordinated with @apeltauer when he creates the libpacks)

That has been in my bookmarks for a LOOOOONG time.

And, I had checked it for this before posting.

(Note: don't me too seriously with this particular...just me being curmudgeonly. )

Fine by me...I've not used Windows for decades now...haven't missed it.
