Octopart.com TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable

Issue / Problem report

I’m trying to get “Octopart”, “LCSC”, and “RS Components” to populate. Every part of my Config.yaml is enabled, except Octopart, and appears to be working. Problems occur when I enable Octopart with either of the client values below.

   Octopart:
    # Octopart API Key
    key: xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
    # API level: 3 or 4
    # level: 4
    # The extended API is for the Pro plan
    # extended: false
    # Only enabled if the key is defined
    enable: true
    # Directory for the APIs caches
    cache_path: ~/.cache/kicost/Octopart

I have my free Octopart Key installed, replaced below with xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx. When I enable Octopart, this is what happens. I tried both “Client” values (ID and Secret) and the same thing happens with either:

1. Write the command used to call KiCost (or the graphical interface configuration); kicost -w -i 555.xml --debug 8

2. One BoM to reproduce the error (with the EDA version). 555.zip

I performed an uninstall/install of KiCost on the problematic system, and now KiCost works on that system. Both prior to uninstall/install and after kicost --version said 1.1.13.

I suspect you had a mix of files from different versions

Being the not so trusting sort, I tried installing KiCost on a 3rd development system, also Windows 11 (the problematic system is Windows 10 which is now working).

Thanks for reporting, I patched the code so the setup.py can run even when TQDM isn’t installed.

I get this

I did finally make it install, but had to

python -m pip install --upgrade pip
pip install tqdm
pip install bs4
pip install xlsxwriter
pip install validators

Before I could finally get:

>kicost --version
KiCost v1.1.13

KiCost now works on the 3rd system, which didn’t have KiCost previously installed.
