Hello all.

I am having an issue with a script that worked fine with Python 2 onmy Raspberry Pi 400, but when run with Python 3, it displays the data, but then kicks the user off the BBS after hitting a key at the pause prompt.

The error in the log just says:
{time stamp} An error has occured: EAccessViolation Access violation
{time stamp} Shutting down

I have posted the source on pastebin: https://pastebin.com/cHq7YwDi

I can't run it under Python 2 because it seems after I did a reinstall of the Raspiabn OS after trying to troubleshoot another issue, I had to reinstall Python 2.7, but the shared library for Python 2 is no longer there in the folder where it's supposed to be. The quickest solution, or so O thought, would have been to just switch it to Python 3, which from the code, doesn't appear to be anything specific to version 2.x.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance..

I had issues with Mystic/python on Ubuntu that I couldn't resolve. I jumped over to Win11/python2.7 and everything is working as expected. I'm getting my linux machine ready for the move over to Debian to see if I can get python2.7 and python3 running together. I'm going to watch this thread to see how you get on. Good luck!

Mystic with Python3 is, IMO, in a pretty broken state and I would focus on getting things working as expected with Python2 until g00r00 has time to dig in and troubleshoot some of this stuff.

Honestly there are countless threads about this and what we all land on is just reverting to 100% python2 for the time being. Sorry this advice kinda sucks, but it is what it is :/

So far, I've not seen anyone using Mystic with /both/ p2 and p3 coexisting. It's one-or-the-other, meaning that if a p2 script runs during a user session, then trying to run a p3 script will cause the EACCESSVIOLATION error. And vice versa (i.e., running a p3 followed by p2). However, the python3 issues seem far more numerous in general than python2 which is why everyone is still sitting on python2 for now.
