    @sdetweil I have started fresh and am still having the same issue.
    New install of buster, fully updated.
    Installed all the MM and node successfully.
    MM runs as expected.
    Checked that python and python3 are both available to the OS.
    Added the MMM-PythonPrint to the modules dir.

    [12.04.2022 11:22.45.613] [LOG]   MMM-PythonPrint received a socket notification: CONFIG - Payload: [object Object]

    This is my config section:

    		{
    			module:"MMM-PythonPrint",
    			position:"center",
    			disabled:false,
    			config: {
    				// name of the python process to execute (could be python3)
    				pythonName: 'python',
    				// command file in module folder
    				// if false, YOU will provide the full path to the python program
    				localfolder: true,
    
    				// spawn a python pgm that writes over and over (timed maybe), but keeps running
    				command: 'printit.py',
    				repetative: true,
    
    				// spawn a one time output  script, but relaunch it every cycletime milliseconds
    
    				// repretative: false,
    				// command: 'printitonce.py',
    				cycletime: 2000,
    
    				// print debugging messages from the node_helper
    				debug: true
    			}
    		 },

        @sdetweil I found another, just up from that one - you have a missing ‘t’ in this line

        this.config.command=this.config.command.slice(his.config.pythonName.length)

            But even with that _ removed, I am still getting an odd error:

             TypeError: this.file is not a function

                @sdetweil - apologies not necessary - I am just happy you are able to look at it.

                Hurrah! It works!

                  i have also the MM os and i try to make it work
                  I have added - /usr/bin/python3:/usr/bin/python3 to the docker compose
                  and now i have the error

                  a played around with adding $PYTHONHOME to env but without any result
                  does anyone know a work around to find the libraries?

                    @diemen112 I think this answers
                    https://askubuntu.com/questions/905372/could-not-find-platform-independent-libraries-prefix

                    running under docker is a fun experience?

                    did u install python as part of the container startup?

                      @diemen112 said in MMM-PythonPrint customisation:

                      I have added - /usr/bin/python3:/usr/bin/python3 to the docker compose

                      this will not work. You have to use the fat image, see my post above (Apr 11)
