Help on installation process needed

[Pedder007]

Hi all,
first of all thanks a lot for sharing this great idea to steer a Truma heater from outside the Truma univers!

As I already have an ioBroker installation, incl. a MQTT server, running in my camper van, I also would like to connect my Truma heating to this environment. The setup is running on an Raspi4, Debian Bookworm.

To first test if I'm able to get the python environment running (I'm not really a specialist in Linux environments), I set up a respective Debian test container in my Proxmox home environment, incl. a user 'pi'.

According to what I found in the read.me and the maybe a bit other Debian environment, I then figured out the following installation path.
('pip3' didn't work for the setup and the prompts advised me to go via 'pipx')

sudo apt install python3-pip

sudo apt install pipx

pipx ensurepath

pipx install inetbox_py[truma_service] --include-deps

pipx ensurepath

echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc

. ~/.bashrc

sudo reboot now

I also tested already some variations of the above (e. g. incl. using more 'sudo' and also w/o the installatoin of 'python3-pip'), but when trying to run 'truma_service' I always failed.

I got back:

-bash: truma_service: command not found

For me it sounds like maybe the path to find the service isn't set correctly, but could someone please support on this?

@Pedder007 I had the same problem and asked Claude:

The problem is that in the [tool.poetry.scripts] section there's an error in the script definition. The callable syntax is not correct for Poetry.

It should be:

[tool.poetry.scripts]
truma_service = "inetbox.truma_service:run"

instead of:

[tool.poetry.scripts]
truma_service = { callable = "inetbox:truma_service.run", extras = ["truma_service"]}

Explanation:

• Poetry expects the format "module.submodule:function" or "module:function"
• In your case it should be "inetbox.truma_service:run" (assuming there's a run() function in the inetbox/truma_service.py module)
• The syntax with callable and extras in the script definition is not supported by Poetry

Additional note:
Unfortunately, Poetry doesn't directly support conditional installation of scripts based on extras. The script will always be installed, but if someone doesn't install the [truma_service] extras, they'll get an error about the missing paho-mqtt module when trying to run the script.

If you want the script to be available only when extras are installed, you need to handle this in the code of the run() function itself - by checking if paho-mqtt is available and displaying an appropriate message if it's not.

After fixing pyproject.toml and reinstalling (pip3 install -e .[truma_service] or again from PyPI), the truma_service command should be available in the shell.

Changing and running (after git clone)
pip install /inetbox.py
installed it properly.
