I’m kinda super new to node_js and I’m trying to fiddle with a plugin but it has new dependencies.
It needs pylast to be exact, but how do I go around compiling/building/installing that? I know my way around .NET, I can get a shell script going and PHP is also no problem… but this is killing me
How do I generate this module folder? I mean pip install just gives me a folder with an init.py-file. But if I open other modules I get at least:
package.json
index.js
But neither the pylast folder, nor the pylast-1.8.0 folder contains those files. Npm and/or pip seem to install the packages in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages. But as said, those folders contain py-files, not index.js nor package.json, so I guess I can’t use those folders.
Then when I have this folder; for a pluging I need to include the dependant modules in the folder “node_modules”, but do I also need to place that module somewhere in the volumio root?
If you need python modules, good luck
But you might want to try this: pythonwheels.com/
Basically you can produce archives of your dependencies, that you can then install.
In any case, if you don’t install plugins as globals, they should reside in the folder you launch the pip install from…
But maybe a more expert pythonista can jump in and help
That clarifies a bit for me, I think it’s python, but not sure. The error I’m getting is:
import pylast
ImportError: No module named pylast
Failed to execute script loader
This sounds like a python problem to me (and google), namely I’m missing the pylast module. I’ve found a tutorial to creating a module… will look into that when I get the time
That way I might be able to fulfill the LastFM plugin wish.
Update, I found that pylast should be in the root of the app-folder, the new error I’m getting is:

from xml.dom import minidom, Node

Failed to execute script loader
After some searching I found that this ‘should’ be a standard python module. One of the causes of this error could be if you named a file xml.py/xml.pyc.
However, I did no such thing anyone got some tips for me?
Maybe its better if we handle this differently… Every plugin should do just one thing…
If we want scrobbling, we can easily make a scrobbler plugin by listening to player state with
getState()
