Steps to reproduce the problem:

1. install binary release
2. run mitmdump -s test.py (with import ctypes)

System information

UBUNTU 16.04

Mitmproxy: 3.0.0.dev1136 (commit 15f525e) binary Python: 3.5.2 OpenSSL: OpenSSL 1.1.0g 2 Nov 2017 Platform: Linux-4.13.0-32-generic-x86_64-with-debian-stretch-sid

Homebrew has an --enable-bar option to force building from source rather than using a “bottled” binary. Any chance of supporting that in future?

Instead, on MacOS High Sierra:

brew uninstall mitmproxy pip3 install mitmproxy

I didn’t need sudo for pip3 because Python 2 and 3 are installed through Homebrew.

BeautifulSoup module is now found again!

Same error here

macOS, install by brew

brew install mitmproxy

then run

mitmdump -p 8081 -s Save1.py

error: in script Save1.py: No module named 'yaml'

Reason:

brew installed mitmproxy contained a self version python, located in

/usr/local/Cellar/mitmproxy/4.0.4_3/libexec/bin/python

when using mitmdump -s some_python_script.py, while some_python_script.py contain some thirdparty libs, such as here’s yaml

it can NOT found it, so report error: No module named 'yaml'

Solution:

NOT using brew install mitmproxy: brew uninstall mitmproxy

but change to your system’s Python:

pyenv global 3.8.0

's pip:

pip3 install mitmproxy

Note: can NOT use (system’s) python2(2.7.5) to install mitmproxy, it will fail:

pip install mitmproxy
