[and then as before]
Guess I’ll try setting things up on another system tomorrow, or else I’ll skip.
The import main workaround did solve the error for someone else. In case it helps, I’m using Python 3.8.10 with the following two libraries installed via pip3.
Turns out it needs a newer hy, then it works. (And in case anyone else has a similar problem and is also a Python noob, pip’s package is probably called python3-pip or something like that. After that, the rest is explained either in the article or by pip itself.)
Here is a workaround.
cdinto the project directoryRun the python3 interpreter
In the python3 interpretor, call
import hyIn the python3 interpretor, call
import mainThat just gets me an even longer error message:
