You need to rebuild all your python packages that are not in repos.

pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'Flask-Session' distribution was not found and is required by pyload-ng

This update requires manual intervention, you must first uninstall python-flask-session and then install python-flask-session2 as these conflict with each other.

Simple way is to sudo pacman -Rdd python-flask-session, then install the latter package in your preferred way and update pyload-ng afterwards.

Fixed. As you advised, I rebuilt all my AUR python packages using 3.11 and that fixed it all. Thank you for your time & patience

If the package is built using python 3.11 and there are no files in "/usr/lib/python3.10" then I'm afraid I can't help you with this issue anymore.

Ahh. Apologies for the pyload start. Obviously not thinking clearly. The "pyload" command generates the same error as below regardless of the argument used

Also what is "pyload start"? I start using "pyload --daemon" usually, when I tried pyload start I got

usage: pyload [-h] [-d] [-r] [--storagedir STORAGEDIR] [--userdir USERDIR]
              [--tempdir TEMPDIR] [--pidfile PIDFILE] [--dry-run] [--daemon]
              [--quit] [--status] [--version]
pyload: error: unrecognized arguments: start

It seems like issue after updating your python interpreter. Make sure to rebuild all your python packages from AUR. You can check if you have any packages on older python version using pacman -Qoq /usr/lib/python3.10.

Python 3.11.3

Normally I start it as a systemd service, but using pyload start made it easier to copy the error

What OS are you using and what is your python version? Could you post entire error message?
