No module named packages.six.moves.http_client

Hi,

I'm trying to install and run Aussie Add-ons on a Raspberry Pi3, using LibreElec as the bareOS + Kodi.

After installation of the Aussie Add-ons zip, attempting to run any of the add-ons comes up with the following log error in Kodi. It appears that I could be missing the "six" python package, but am not sure and neither can I figure out how to get it as it doesn't appear in the Kodi Add-ons browser.

Hey @ugoogalizer

Looks like you've got a script.module.requests package that might not have come from the official Kodi repo - do you have any of the 'super' repos installed? If so, disable them, remove requests and 9now and try installing 9now again

Thanks! That actually helped a bunch, it turns out the "Oz Weather" Kodi app had installed a bunch of conflicting "add-ons" of at least the following:

• script.common.plugin.cache
• script.module.certifi
• script.module.chardet
• script.module.idna
• script.module.urllib3
• script.module.requests
• script.module.beautifulsoup4

I uninstalled OZ Weather and all of the Aussie Add-Ons, then used the "Manage Dependencies" area in Kodi to remove all of these dependencies (and any other "Orphaned" dependencies). After re-installing the Aussie Add-Ons, they work a treat, thanks! Happy to mark as resolved.

Note: I never used Kodi to look up Weather, so don't care about losing that functionality much in comparison to the functionality the Aussie Add-Ons give.

Great to hear!

I don't think the Oz Weather add-on is at fault. There's a 3rd party repo or repos out there that provide their own version of requests and possibly some of the other dependency add-ons which have a higher add-on version number than the ones in the official Kodi repo, so they 'supersede' the versions that actually work.

Do you have a 'fully loaded' Kodi box or did you have many other repos installed, like Ares, superrepo, tvaddons, exodus etc.?
