ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'openplotterSettings' - beercansailor - 2023-11-01

I'm seeing issues when trying to install or uninstall any one of the Dashboards. For example, when trying to install Node-Red Dashboard, I see this message

Code:
Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/openplotterDashboards/installNoderedDashboard.py", line 19, in <module>

    from openplotterSettings import conf

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'openplotterSettings'

Odd thing is, other OpenPlotter software appears to work and able to find the module

Code:
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/openplotterSettings/openplotterSettings.py

Only the install/uninstall of Dashboard items appear to run into the above issue.

This is what my python path looks like. The issue may be related to a mix of python3.11 and python 3.

Code:
$ python3

Python 3.11.4 (main, Jul 28 2023, 16:12:56) [GCC 11.3.0] on linux

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

>>> import sys

>>> print (sys.path)

['', '/usr/local/lib/python311.zip', '/usr/local/lib/python3.11', '/usr/local/lib/python3.11/lib-dynload', '/home/tartan3500/.local/lib/python3.11/site-packages', '/usr/local/lib/python3.11/site-packages']

>>> exit()

The OpenPlotter installation files are located here

Code:
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages

Any suggestion on how to clean this up will be appreciated.

When I add printing the "sys.path" in the install script for Node-Red just before the above mentioned problem, it shows

Code:
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/openplotterDashboards

/usr/local/lib/python311.zip

/usr/local/lib/python3.11

/usr/local/lib/python3.11/lib-dynload

/usr/local/lib/python3.11/site-packages

It's clear why it can't find the import file, as the sys.path and file location don't match.

I've tried uninstalling and re-installing OpenPlotter, but that hasn't helped so far.

I could not find a reliable solution.
Decided to do a complete fresh install, starting with Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. It's not that much work to setup a system, thanks to all the automation that OpenPlotter does for us.
