[Slackbuilds-users] html2text import error

[KB_SBo]

Hello,

After reinstalling from scratch, with all deps, and no build errors, the 
newer html2text-2025.4.15 now has this import error.

$ html2text --help
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/bin/html2text", line 5, in <module>
     from html2text.cli import main
   File "/usr/lib64/python3.9/site-packages/html2text/__init__.py", line 
13, in <module>
     from ._version import __version_tuple__
ImportError: cannot import name '__version_tuple__' from 
'html2text._version' 
(/usr/lib64/python3.9/site-packages/html2text/_version.py)

$ python3 --version
Python 3.9.25


** UPDATE via IRC **

<fourtysixandtwo> kingbeowulf: echo "__version_tuple__ = (2025, 4, 15)" 
 >> /usr/lib64/python3.9/site-packages/html2text/_version.py
<fourtysixandtwo> Urchlay: will need to add ^^ to slackbuild unless 
upstream fixes it

fourtysixandtwo> Urchlay: ignore the previous comment, just add 
python3-setuptools-scm-opt as a dep...been a while since I had that 
issue and forgot that's the solution
<fourtysixandtwo> kingbeowulf: so that's the other option...add 
python3-setuptools-scm-opt and rebuild html2text

-> issue is resolved.
