Omarchy, mise and hyprwhspr

[goodroot]

hyprwhspr matches Arch packaging guidelines and installs files into standard system locations.

On Omarchy systems, mise is auto-activated and replaces system Python in the user’s shell.

The job of mise is to isolate Python from system-installed packages and assets.

As a result, hyprwhspr may fail to discover file these files as it's looking for typical paths.

This is an environment mismatch and not a packaging defect.

A brute force work around to install hyprwhspr is to turn mise off:

mise unuse -g python

There are open issues, eg: basecamp/omarchy#2831 as this impacts all AUR python packages.

Work will be done to ensure installation will still succeed with mise.

However the mise default puts the system in a weird state, and I'd encourage you to bring attention to the root issue.

Merged a series of fixes for this in 1.16.0.

@goodroot sorry for the ping on close issue but I think this needs to be reopen. currently with mise enable and pip install -r requirements.txt in the hyprwhspr repo clone today hyprwhspr still fails to find rich for me.

For ref I'm on fedora but given I'm using mise to mange my python insallation I don't think the distro comse into play as I don't use anything from the distro system python

I would much rather keep mise enable then depending on system python

@gozes Thanks for letting me know.

I've made a change to this in 1.18.9 that should help people in your situation proceed as intended.

@elynch303 Thanks for letting me know this can still present itself. 🙂

I've pushed up an adjustment that'll solve this without intervention.
