In case you experience any issues that escrotum does not work: Recently Python got updated to 3.10 which means that all Python packages must be rebuilt. So please rebuild this package and it will work again.

@justinesmithies This package must be rebuilt after a Python update. If you're using a -git package please don't expect a version bump for every change. But I might do it when I have time.

Regarding the issue with numpy: That was fixed long time ago. Numpy is an optional dependency and escrotum works fine without it. You used an old clone of the repository and you have to clean-build this package.

Since Python got updated escrotum no longer works. To resolve this issue you need to install 

python-numpy
Otherwise this needs added as a dependency.

@RogerDuran Thanks for adding me as a co-maintainer! I've added the missing dependency.

SammysHP I've added you as a co-maintainer thanks for the help with the rewrite from scratch of the PKGBUILD

@Stephen304

Yes, python-cairo is missing in the dependencies. Reported upstream and maintainer should add it as well.

Is there a missing dependency or something? Not very familiar with python packages / don't want to mess with my system python:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/escrotum", line 11, in <module>
    load_entry_point('escrotum==1.0.1', 'console_scripts', 'escrotum')()
  File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 490, in load_entry_point
    return get_distribution(dist).load_entry_point(group, name)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 2862, in load_entry_point
    return ep.load()
  File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 2462, in load
    return self.resolve()
  File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 2468, in resolve
    module = __import__(self.module_name, fromlist=['__name__'], level=0)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/escrotum/main.py", line 16, in <module>
    import cairo
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'cairo'

Edit: Looks like it's python-cairo that's missing from dependencies.

I posted an updated PKGBUILD that I wrote from scratch using the latest Arch Python packaging guidelines and some simplifications here: https://github.com/Roger/escrotum/issues/44#issuecomment-614571113

I'd like to jump in as a maintainer in case vchimishuk doesn't want to maintain this PKGBUILD anymore.

I fixed it by

  • Migrating to python3 (removing the 2 from all mentions of python in the PKGBUILD)
  • Installing python-xcffib
  • Installing python-gobject
  • Removing 'gobject' from '/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/escrotum-1.0.1-py3.8.egg-info/requires.txt'. This can also be done removing it from the setup.py. There should be another way by having python find the gobject thing required but I don't know enough about python to properly setup the requires.txt

@severin.kaderli, still cannot find a way to fix the build. Hope to provide update soon.
