stash does not run with Pythonista v3.4 Beta

[mkb79]

Today Pythonista v3.4 Beta was released.

When I execute launch_stash.py the following issue appears:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/private/var/mobile/Containers/Shared/AppGroup/04823405-B61A-4EBC-8D72-116EB0824B40/Pythonista3/Documents/launch_stash.py", line 28, in <module>
    from stash import stash

    _properties = plistlib.readPlist(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(sys.executable), 'Info.plist'))
AttributeError: module 'plistlib' has no attribute 'readPlist'

Maybe there will be any fix in the near future?

Edit:
After fixing this issue a new one appears with these line _ShTerminal = create_objc_class('_ShTerminal', ObjCClass('SUITextView'), [keyCommands, kcDispatcher_]). SUITextView does not exists.

I‘ve tried to patch stash myself and opened a new PR #463

tl;dr: Solution is #462 (comment)

import requests as r; exec(r.get('https://bit.ly/get-stash').content)

Uses branch master which has code that crashes on the current beta release of Pythonista. What command can I run to force the use of branch dev instead of master?

The following unfortunately installs master.zip, not dev.zip!

url = 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ywangd/stash/dev/getstash.py'; import requests as r; exec(r.get(url).content)

Downloading https://github.com/ywangd/stash/archive/master.zip ...

So on the new beta, you need to do the normal install and let it crash💥 then

1. Reboot Pythonista
2. Copy the contents of https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ywangd/stash/dev/system/shcommon.py
3. On Pythonista, paste that content into Python Modules/site-packages/stash/system/shcommon.py
4. Run launch_stash.py from the default directory.

It says StaSH was successfully installed but then crashes. Rebooting Pythonista and then running launch_stash.py reveals that you modifications to shcommon.py are gone and you have made no progress at all.

This command worked for me:
url = 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ywangd/stash/dev/getstash.py'; import requests as r; exec(r.get(url).text.replace('master', 'dev'))

Seems as though the most recent TestFlight beta changed the name of the site-packages folder which broke pip. I'm guessing here...

Pip install now errors when trying to install packages.

I'm not talented enough to figure out a fix myself. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Here's a screenshot of the error

@AltKrypto A quick fix that might work for you.

edit stash/lib/libdist.py under Python Modules / site-packages (user) to remove '-3'

    if six.PY3:
        #SITE_PACKAGES_DIR_NAME = "site-packages-3"
        SITE_PACKAGES_DIR_NAME = "site-packages"
    else:

That did the trick
