This is so cool! It does work now. Has it been published to the list of modules?
If you or @wishmaster270 are somewhere near Cologne you or are invited for a free professional solo session of Feldenkrais Functional Integration or a free professional singing lesson!

Great to hear and you are welcome. I try to help where I can.
I live about 30km south of Munich but thanks for your invitation.

Hi Everybody out there using MMM-FRITZ-Box-Callmonitor,
I would love to use this Module, but I’m not really in the mod to code or to find errors.
I tried to install your new branch under PiOS “Bookworm” but I get some errors using
“sudo apt-get install python-dev libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev zlib1g-dev && sudo pip install fritzconnection”!
The first error is: " E: For Package »python-dev« exists no Installationscandidate."
The second error for pip install is: “externally-managed-environment …”
How can I solve these problems?
Sorry for my bad english, I’m german and over 60 years old.
Thanks for helping.

@xIExodusIx that’s due to changes in the handling of the python packages. I installed “fritzconnection” in a virtual environment:

python -m venv venv

source venv/bin/activate

python -m pip install fritzconnection

to make the Callmonitor use the fritzconnection, I edited the nodehelper.js (in ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-FritzBox-Callmonitor-py3) in line 212 to look like this (user is “pi”, must be adapted if you use another user):

pythonPath: '/home/pi/venv/bin/python',

Don’t know if it’s the best solution, but it works.

@rabbit83ka you can set the venv in the mm.sh that starts MagicMirror

then you don’t need to do that

rabbit83ka

@sdetweil Thanks, so it should look like this?

#!/bin/bash
# This file is still here to keep PM2 working on older installations.
cd ~/MagicMirror
export PYTHONPATH="/home/pi/venv/bin/python"
DISPLAY=:0 npm start

sdetweil

@rabbit83ka no, execute the venv command to set the virtual environment in place of the export

the same venv command you did before running pip

rabbit83ka

@sdetweil I used your script

fixuppm2.sh

when I set up the mirror
Now I modified ~/MagicMirror/installers/mm.sh to

#!/bin/bash
# This file is still here to keep PM2 working on older installations.
cd ~/MagicMirror
source venv/bin/activate
DISPLAY=:0 npm start

but that doesn’t work, error occures again because node_helper doesn’t seem to use the venv.

sdetweil

@rabbit83ka when I look at my .bashrc whichs sets up the default venv on shell open
I see

# Virtual Environment Wrapper
source /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH
cd ~
