Agreed. Installed po4a 0.66 with Gdebi! Works perfectly.

 A couple of questions though, after three fresh installs I have settled on
a a  RIP installation as per
https://www.qtpyvcp.com/install/dev_install.html.

python3 -m pip install --editable .
ends with
Successfully installed qtpyvcp

then
daniel@LinuxCNC:~/dev/qtpyvcp$ qtpyvcp -h
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/daniel/.local/bin/qtpyvcp", line 33, in <module>
    sys.exit(load_entry_point('qtpyvcp', 'console_scripts', 'qtpyvcp')())
  File "/home/daniel/dev/qtpyvcp/qtpyvcp/app/__init__.py", line 72, in main
    from qtpyvcp.utilities.opt_parser import parse_opts
  File "/home/daniel/dev/qtpyvcp/qtpyvcp/utilities/opt_parser.py", line 64,
in <module>
    from linuxcnc import ini
ImportError: cannot import name 'ini' from 'linuxcnc' (unknown location)

My LinuxCNC RIP location is ~/dev/linuxcnc-dev.
I tried

cp scripts/.xsessionrc ~/

log out and log back in then, qtpyvcp -h yields the same results...

At this point I am trying to install everything as a RIP because I need
ethercat as well as qtpyvcp. So I did the usual git download of Linuxcnc
2.9, then followed
https://forum.linuxcnc.org/ethercat/45336-ethercat-installation-from-repositories-how-to-step-by-step#237098
to install the ethercat files. My thinking is that if I can get qtpyvcp
installed then I could build the deb files for my final installation for my
production machine.  The full monty would be able to install Glade as well
so I could update my old custom g-screen (lathezy) in the much sexier
qtpyvcp.

Also,  the included install script enters an endless loop when it asks for
linuxcnc directory.

Seems like this is a path issue and not an install issue, any thoughts?

Kind regards,
Dan
