Public bug reported: We have observed that the following version of pymol crashes on startup on Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS:
python3-pymol/noble,now 2.5.0+dfsg-1build6 amd64 [installed,automatic] Molecular Graphics System (Python 3 modules) The error and background are described here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1526267/pymol-not-starting-after- downloading-using-linux-terminal-command File "<frozen runpy>", line 189,> in _run_module_as_main File "<frozen runpy>", line 112, in> _get_module_details File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pymol/__init__.py", line 81, in> <module>> from imp import find_module ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'imp' It seems that Python 3.12 does not contain the required imp package that __init.py__ tries to import on line 81: grep -A 2 -B 2 -n 'from imp' /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pymol/__init__.py 79-import _thread as thread 80- 81:from imp import find_module 82-import copy 83-import threading The workaround described on the same page (i.e. installation of the python3-zombie-imp package with sudo apt install python3-zombie-imp) results in a working distribution, but it would be great if the import command could be updated so that it no longer imports imp. ** Affects: pymol (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2162063 Title: pymol crashes on startup on Ubuntu 24.04.4 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pymol/+bug/2162063/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
