Hi,

many thanks for your report. Are you sure you linked the correct topic? becasue the linked one is talking about

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'Timeout'

while your issue seems to be

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute '__version__'

Next to that there is no DietPi own package. As far as I can see, DietPi will clone the Octoprint Git. So it's the latest up-to-date version available.

https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/blob/eed0d2662a545750e65f8af6d95e5727ee04497d/dietpi/dietpi-software#L5586

[zell-mbc]

No, got the wrong link, I updated my initial post accordingly. Here's the correct one: https://github.com/encode/django-rest-framework/issues/6203
It's for a different project but given that the error is the same I was wondering if the solution is maybe something similar. A long shot, I know.

But given that the package is pulled down from upstream, I guess I need to check with the Octoprint team anyway?

[Joulinar]

wait a second. I will play around with install process on my test system. Might be it will work. Will report back soon.

[Joulinar]

ok it's working that way. Basically 2 simple adjustment's needed on DietPi scripts

nano /DietPi/dietpi/dietpi-software

change the following lines

#                       INSTALL_URL_ADDRESS='https://github.com/foosel/OctoPrint.git'
                        INSTALL_URL_ADDRESS='https://github.com/OctoPrint/OctoPrint.git'

and

#                       G_RUN_CMD python setup.py install
                        G_RUN_CMD pip install .

Than installation should finish successfully. Sevice is running after reboot and web interface is reachable

@MichaIng
Still I'm lacking how to open PR. Otherwise I would do changes myself 😄

[zell-mbc]

Cool! I can confirm the installation is working for me as well. The service is up and running. Thank you very much for the quick turn around.

I can't get to the web interface yet, but that's likely because the web server isn't part of the Octoprint install and has to be installed and configured separately. I'll look into this.

[Joulinar]

No web server is running already. Octoprint has it's own web server. Just have a look to DietPi user guide how to access

https://dietpi.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?p=7958#p7958

Should be http://yourIP:5000/

[zell-mbc]

Indeed, it's the port I missed. All up and running now.

@zell-mbc @Joulinar
Hey guys, many thanks for report and solution. Indeed OctoPrint has been made a GitHub organuzation now. While the old link still works and is redirected to the new one, we should use the new one diretly of course. Also the install method has changed, so yes, needs to be changed in our script. I'll open a PR.

Fixed with: #3484
