@DocMAX I am able to build PyOBD in a clean chroot. Seems like your issue is with your installed version of pyinstaller. Try uninstalling it, deleting paru cache, and reinstalling it. It is possible you did not rebuild the package during a python upgrade.

Error during installation

yay -S --sudoloop pyobd

generates the following error

==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
    Aborting...
 -> error making: pyobd-exit status 4
 -> Failed to install the following packages. Manual intervention is required:
pyobd - exit status 4

python-pillow is needed for the build, please add it to the dependencies. Thanks for your work! :-)

The binary does not currently work. You will get the error message AttributeError: module 'numpy' has no attribute 'cumproduct'. Did you mean: 'cumprod'?. This is due to Numpy now being at version 2.x, but this program seems to use some 1.x functions. To get it to work, you will need to build this package with python-numpy version 1.26.2-4 installed. Once the package is built you can upgrade python-numpy to the latest again.

Building manually with venv does not seem to compile, but that's another rabbit hole.

@HurricanePootis Thanks! I've disowned the package if you would like to take over the maintenance of it.

Hello, I have a proposal for this PKGBUILD. 1. Make the license SPDX compliant 2. Use the official method of using pyinstaller to create a binary 3. Remove the pyobd, pyobd.desktop, pyobd.png, and pyobd.install as they are no longer needed as there is a binary, the .desktop and .pngs will be generated 4. Build the actual binary 5. And, install everything properly

I had a personal crysis, I expected more stars from the project. I will put it back on... I still have a copy. I'm sorry for the whole thing, letting down a follower.
