@coernel he installed a prior version of python

I added words to complete his sentence

I uninstalled the current version of Python and installed python version 0.5.0

@sdetweil Hey thanks, that is exactly what I understood. And that arises the question: With an older version of python isn’t there the danger of other modules being broken? So would there be the possibility to force an older python version for the specific module only?

@coernel sorry, no idea how to run specific versions of python with specific modules

Dear all,

has anyone here come up with a more, shall I say, “sustainable” solution? According to Chris, he has installed version 0.5.0 of Python , I have versions 2.7 and 3.9 on my Raspi, version 0.5.0 seems very old and dangerous in conjunction with other modules. In addition, Python no longer lists this version under the ancient versions and does not offer it for download. So now I have no way of getting the module to work. I would be grateful for any help, including instructions on how to install version 0.5.0.

Thanks and regards,

Docci

There is another fork of this module
MMM-FRITZ-Box-Callmonitor-py3
There is a comment:
The Code is updated to work with python 3 and the latest MagicMirror Version ( Updates of this Module last year ), so much younger than the module you are using.

I installed this version 2 Month ago on Bullseye and Bookworm Debian 11/12.

And when I remember correct I had had only problems with installing the addon fritzconnection on Bookworm. Bullseye was fine.
Issue was “sudo pip install fritzconnection”.
I have to look what I did there exactly. One Solution was simple to copy the python modules manually to a directory, the other was to make a “virtual” python installation with “python3 -m venv xyz”.

If interests are there I can try to reinstall and note some instructions.

@uschmitt thanks a lot for that hint. Didn’t recognize this “new” fork.
Now it seems that I’m one step further as the module is not “loading” all the time but declares, that there are no recent calls to show. Unfortunataly, there are recent calls I’ve done for testing reasons. Right of the “no recent calls” text there the message, that an undefinded error occured. Have to check the logs an look in it, what that might be now.

EDIT: Now working, was just some authentication issue to the FRITZ!Box.
Again, thanks a lot!
