Beets: Missing modules and plugins with invalid syntax

[gatlinnewhouse]

Problem

Fetchart plugin has some syntax errors reported, along with bandcamp plugin.

Both acoustid and echonest say I am missing their respective beetsplug.* modules.

Running this command in verbose (-vv) mode:

$ beet -vv (... paste here ...)

Led to this problem:

All the syntax errors seem to be coming from the itunes package. If my memory serves me well, it is lacking maintenance and not python3 ready. I would advise you to drop itunes as an albumart source and see what it does for you.

I don't have a real clue for the ModuleNotFound errors, but I'd like to see them without the errors coming from the itunes package.

also the echonest plugin is gone: https://github.com/beetbox/beets/issues/1920

About the iTunes backend for fetchart, it looks like #2371 also reported that the library isn't Py3-compatible.

Also, there is no plugin called acoustid; you're probably thinking of chroma.

Also, it looks like you're referring to a "bandcamp" plugin we don't ship. You might want to contact the author of that plugin instead of this issue tracker.

Resolved. Removed itunes as a source in the config and the lines referencing itunes within the fetchart plugin

[gatlinnewhouse]

The bandcamp plugin is also working now
