The pwd module is a UNIX only package, it's for managing passwords.
The package you are trying to install is daemon, which is an un-maintained package from 2014. There is a more recent package called python-daemon, which is well maintained and used for implementing daemons in UNIX systems. It also works with python3. Though again, this will not work on windows.
If you're writing an application yourself and want to do this on windows you need to install it as a service, not a daemon this stackoverflow post is old, but still relevant.
python-daemon
(newer version) and daemon
both require the pwd
package, which is not available on Windows.
Your code should detect that this is not available and disable daemon mode on Windows (which isn't really a thing).
try:
import daemon
except ImportError:
daemon = None
Then later, you can check if daemon is None
.
Same thing happened to me in getpass
module, it worked the first time in getpass.getuser()
but then it stopped working saying
module pwd not found
I fixed it by repairing the python installation from the installer itself.
Internally they are using pwd for fetching owner's name which you can avoid by simply commenting import pwd in pebblo.pycheck the image below
