Re: [Owfs-developers] Installing pyownet

[Mick S. <mi...@su...>]

I have a problem with that.  I removed pyownet with

     sudo pip3 uninstall pyownet

then I reinstalled with

     sudo apt install pyownet

but that gave me

     E: Unable to locate package pyownet

so I ran

     sudo apt install python3-ownet

which seemed to complete OK, but when I run my code it fails with

     ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pyownet'

am I missing something here?
