Issue running gateway.py

I feel like I’m getting closer!

Now I’m hitting a message when running the line sudo ./gateway.py. This is the output:

(.venv) pi@BTGateway:~/bt-mqtt-gateway $ sudo ./gateway.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./gateway.py", line 11, in <module>
    import logger
  File "/home/pi/bt-mqtt-gateway/logger.py", line 3, in <module>
    import yaml
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'yaml'

It’s that last line that bothers me. Anyone got any ideas if this is normal or something I need to concern myself with? And if it’s the latter, what’s the fix?

Sorry again, complete Linux noob just trying to get bluetooth stuff working!

I ran into this very same problem. I ended up removing all of the VENV-parts from the service.sh and then it runs fine. So my service.sh looks like this:

#!/bin/sh
set -e
SCRIPT_DIR=$( cd "$( dirname "$0" )" >/dev/null 2>&1 && pwd )
cd "$SCRIPT_DIR"
python3 ./gateway.py "$@"

Perhaps someone handy with venv could point out how to do this with it but I’m happy with this now.

I have the same problem. Seems we must run with sudo or I get: bluepy.btle.BTLEManagementError: Failed to execute management command ‘le on’ (code: 20, error: Permission Denied)

Do I really need to install everything as sudo? That doesn’t seem right to me having set it up in a venv.
