Getting re-started... python issue?

See original GitHub issue

I had mpp-solar installed briefly a couple of months ago, but didn’t have time to pursue to completion.

Now I’m back to it. I pulled the latest using:

git clone https://github.com/jblance/mpp-solar.git cd mpp-solar sudo python ./setup.py install

That went fine. sudo mpp-solar -h gives me […] MPP Solar Command Utility, version: 0.4.5

But now… mpp-solar -M LV5048 -d /dev/hidraw0 -l outputs:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/mpp-solar", line 11, in <module>
    load_entry_point('mpp-solar==0.4.5', 'console_scripts', 'mpp-solar')()

TypeError: str() takes at most 1 argument (2 given)

Do I have a python problem here? Any help appreciated.

Might have to… I know @jblance started removing support for Python2 some time ago. i am not skillful enough to know if anything needs to be changed updated for getting this to work properly or something to that effect. I am sure he will chime in…
