3.11 excalibur issues

[reeddolphin]

camelot-dev/excalibur#151

I actually came looking for a container because I didn't want to deal with this issue/other local issues im having with ghostscript myself. but it sure does seem like excalibur doesn't like python versions above 3.7.

docker container run -v ~/excalibur-data:/home/python/excalibur -e PORT=8081 -p 8081:8081 ghcr.io/williamjacksn/excalibur

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/python/docker-excalibur/run.py", line 5, in <module> from excalibur import configuration as conf File "/home/python/venv/lib/python3.11/site-packages/excalibur/configuration.py", line 7, in <module> from backports.configparser import ConfigParser File "/home/python/venv/lib/python3.11/site-packages/backports/configparser/__init__.py", line 130, in <module> from collections import MutableMapping ImportError: cannot import name 'MutableMapping' from 'collections' (/usr/local/lib/python3.11/collections/__init__.py)

Totally separately, i assume this is user error completely, but any guess as to why this fails to open at http://127.0.0.1:8081/ ?
docker container run -v ~/excalibur-data:/home/python/excalibur -e PORT=8081 -p 8081:8081 ghcr.io/williamjacksn/excalibur:0.4.3

[williamjacksn]

I probably should not have tried to upgrade the version of Python in the image. I just reverted that change, so the latest image now runs on Python 3.9. Give that a try again.

The image tagged 0.4.3 was from before I wrote a custom entrypoint, and doesn't support listening on a custom port.

Possibly fixed in 09eceac

[williamjacksn]

@kayarre Update your clone, build the image, and try again. I rolled markupsafe back to 2.0.1, which is the last version to have soft_unicode.

Huzzah! thank you! It runs.

trying to use the thing got me an error though.

ImportError: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I am going to try to sort it out myself.

hi, i'm getting the same ImportError: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory error, this is a docker running on linux host

@kayarre if you have a solution, pls let me know

[williamjacksn]

Can you tell I don't actively use this project anymore? 🤣

I think I need to roll all the way back to the 0.4.3 tag and add my custom entrypoint there. The Camelot and Excalibur projects have not seen updates in a long time, so it's dangerous to update their dependencies to the latest versions.

[jbrodriguez]

@williamjacksn that makes sense.

i'm curious, are you using something other than excalibur+camelot or you just don't need this type of flow ?

if it's the former i'd like to know about it :)

i'm currently using tabula and although it works it hasn't received updates in quite a while, so i'm always looking for alternatives, in case it stops working

[williamjacksn]

I just don't have a need for this right now. It was always for personal stuff, and I found other ways to collect the data that I was originally extracting from PDFs.

And I take back what I said about Camelot, it actually had a new release last week!

https://pypi.org/project/camelot-py/0.11.0/

Anyway, I am happy to try to get this working as soon as I have some time.

[jbrodriguez]

thanks, i found this issue in the camelot repo

camelot-dev/camelot#193 (comment)

not sure what the base os is on your dockerfile (where the python:3.9.16.x draws from), but it looks like it requires something like libgl1-mesa-glx installed in order to work

i'll try to test it / create a pr, sometime this week

[williamjacksn]

In #72 I rolled back many requirements to old versions to get everything to run. I tested the container image locally and it is working for me.

Please let me know if this latest change works for you.

[jbrodriguez]

thanks a lot man ! it's working now !
