This doesn't make sense, because you are using system dependencies anyway. See python package guidelines for more info: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Python_package_guidelines#Standards_based_(PEP_517)

What for? Everything is done according to the instructions!

When making build requirements available, pip does so in an isolated environment. That is, pip does not install those requirements into the user’s site-packages, but rather installs them in a temporary directory which it adds to the user’s sys.path for the duration of the build.

Please disable isolation in build

The appinfo.vdf version might not be supported by the current version of Protontricks - please check for updates.

problem was i am on steam beta and this version of protontricks does not work with steam beta for more information go to protontricks github page they have a detailed guide on hwo to fix it.

Just a friendly heads-up: pkgname is redundantly listed under provides. This happens automatically, as stated in this ArchWiki article.

Also couldn't get this to work, I also got the "no module named 'vdf'" error. Tried rebuilding python-vdf and reinstalling it, and then doing a clean build of this package and reinstalling it, to no avail, same result. Just used pipx.

@rpdelaney

I had the same problem but installed again manually and now it works:

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/protontricks.git
cd protontricks
makepkg -si

So nothing special. I think it should work by reinstalling with a AUR helper as well. Probably has to do with that recent Python update.

+1:

$ protontricks
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/protontricks", line 5, in <module>
    from protontricks.cli.main import cli
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'protontricks'
$

I installed it with pipx and that works fine.

@hollunder

I had same issue.

pacman -Ql protontricks

protontricks /usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages

pacman -Ql python-vdf

python-vdf /usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages

Is yours the same issue? I just installed python-vdf and clean-built again.

now:

pacman -Ql python-vdf

python-vdf /usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/

@hollunder: python-vdf is already a dependency. Apparently you have a local Python installation that's interfering with system packages.
