I made a little python3 tool that makes bulk adding very easy. I'm only adding this here because it was the first discussion I found when searching, so others may too. Yes it makes me feel gross and I'm sorry.
I have hit a dead end trying to load your python tool
latest pi hole installed on stretch lite
I tried downloading/compiling 3.8.3 using some other guides online...
sudo apt-get install build-essential checkinstall
sudo apt-get install libreadline-gplv2-dev libncursesw5-dev libssl-dev libsqlite3-dev tk-dev libgdbm-dev libc6-dev libbz2-dev
sudo wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.8.3/Python-3.8.3.tgz
sudo tar -zxvf Python-3.8.3.tgz
sudo ./configure --enable-optimizations
sudo make altinstall
python --version shows 3.8.3 but I get a python >=3.5 required error
I tried apt remove other versions I found (python3 and 3.5) and I ended up losing pip3
So I removed and tried 3.8.3 again and still no joy.
Thoughts?
Thanks!
Is this github issue you, too? If so, have you tried following the instructions listed there for building python?
Here's a docker image for stretch-slim that probably has all the commands/packages you need for it.
If that doesn't work, maybe use a different distro if possible? That answer sucks, but having a working python install is kind of a requirement and I can't go through and fix that on every variant of os configuration people may have.
That is not me.
I'm using pi zero hence trying to keep everything lite/small
I understand the reasoning... did you try the steps they used to build that docker image for the stretch-slim?
Not yet.
I will try on a fresh SD flash tomorrow and report back. Interesting there isn't already a cleaner way to update. I removed a python3.5 folder when I started deleting things, I'll see if its there as part of the clean install. Might just be an issue of changing default version or loading missing components.
Thanks!
Ok, fresh install of pihole over stretch-lite
python --version
Python 2.7.13
python3 --version
Python 3.5.3
pip3
-bash: pip3: command not found
directories in /usr/lib/
python2.7
python3
python3.5
I see no 'pip' files in /usr/lib/python3.5 so technically 3.5 is there but incomplete?
Maybe use something like python-virtualenv (like here) or perhaps pyenv (site here)
pyenv seems to work but I still got an error:
$ sudo pip3 install pihole5-list-tool --upgrade
Collecting pihole5-list-tool

Thoughts? I installed 3.8.3 btw, perhaps I will try 3.6.x
so I tried installing 3.6.8 and I get the >=3.6
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ pyenv versions
system
3.6.8
* 3.8.3 (set by /home/pi/.pyenv/version)
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ pyenv which pip
/home/pi/.pyenv/versions/3.8.3/bin/pip
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ pyenv global 3.6.8
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ pyenv which pip3
/home/pi/.pyenv/versions/3.6.8/bin/pip3
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo pip3 install pihole5-list-tool --upgrade
Collecting pihole5-list-tool
Using cached https://www.piwheels.org/simple/pihole5-list-tool/pihole5_list_tool-0.4.5-py2.py3-none-any.whl
pihole5-list-tool requires Python '>=3.6' but the running Python is 3.5.3
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ python --version
Python 3.6.8
Thanks
@sadpanda Can you open an issue on jessedp's GitHub for this? That would be a better place to troubleshoot and would keep this thread clear for discussion on the working script.
Per advice I tired a different disto (DietPi)
loaded PiHole and pip via DietPi package loader
result was
root@DietPi:~# pip list
DEPRECATION: Python 2.7 reached the end of its life on January 1st, 2020. Please upgrade your Python as Python 2.7 is no longer maintained. pip 21.0 will drop support for Python 2.7 in January 2021. More details about Python 2 support in pip, can be found at https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/development/release-process/#python-2-support
Package Version
---------- -------
pip 20.1.1
setuptools 44.1.1
wheel 0.34.2
root@DietPi:~# python3 --version
Python 3.7.3
however on run I received error (abbreviated):
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pkg_resources'
with some google-fu this fixed the issue:
sudo pip3 install setuptools==47.1.1
thanks
