Some failure is happening again, after recent python updates. And again as before, after reinstalling 'yaourt samsungctl' it works again.

@8472, thanks for reporting this. I fixed it by bumping the version number to 0.7.0-2 for a rebuild.

After recent (2018-08-06) python updates the samsungctl is failing with:

$ samsungctl (with or without parameters, doesn't matter) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/samsungctl", line 6, in <module> from pkg_resources import load_entry_point File "/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/init.py", line 3095, in <module> @_call_aside File "/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/init.py", line 3079, in _call_aside f(args, *kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/init.py", line 3108, in _initialize_master_working_set working_set = WorkingSet._build_master() File "/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/init.py", line 570, in _build_master ws.require(requires) File "/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/init.py", line 888, in require needed = self.resolve(parse_requirements(requirements)) File "/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/init.py", line 774, in resolve raise DistributionNotFound(req, requirers) pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'samsungctl==0.7.0' distribution was not found and is required by the application</module></module>

It fails on the "from pkg_resources import load_entry_point".

However, after reinstalling 'yaourt samsungctl' it works again.

Please addd python-websocket-client as an optional dependency. It is mentioned in the README file.
