Cannot install on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Noble Numbat

The output of thefuck --version (something like The Fuck 3.1 using Python 3.5.0 and Bash 4.4.12(1)-release):

Cannot check

The output of The Fuck with THEFUCK_DEBUG=true exported (typically execute export THEFUCK_DEBUG=true in your shell before The Fuck):

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'imp'

Anything else you think is relevant:

I updated from Ubuntu 22 to 24 and now thefuck doesn't work due to missing imp in python3.12.3

same issue as og post

[PaleFlyer]

Clean install of Nobel does the same. I can't get PIP3 to install thefuck.

Says the same error as the bottom half of the OP post.

[mortael]

Install it with pip directly from this repo: pip install git+https://github.com/nvbn/thefuck

As you can see is https://github.com/nvbn/thefuck/blob/master/thefuck/conf.py updated using importlib

[shalak]

$ pip install git+https://github.com/nvbn/thefuck

Would need to put it in virtualenv :/

[PVTejas]

I managed to install it by passing the --break-system-packages flag, but then it throws another error no module named 'imp'

[jalopez-arkeero]

I encountered the same issue when running the command:

thefuck --version

I received the following traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/tekylo/.local/bin/thefuck", line 5, in <module>
    from thefuck.entrypoints.main import main
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'thefuck'

It seems like the module is not being found. Any insights on how to resolve this?

[PVTejas]

I had the same error. I had installed on Ubuntu 22.04 with py3.10. When I upgraded to 24.04, python also got upgraded to 3.12 and that environment did not have thefuck installed.

This method, but using pip3 install --user git+https://github.com/nvbn/thefuck fixed it for me, for now.

I tried like this, no luck:

$ pipx install thefuck --force --include-deps 
Installing to existing venv 'thefuck'
⚠️  Note: thefuck was already on your PATH at /usr/bin/thefuck
  installed package thefuck 3.32, installed using Python 3.12.3

pip3 uninstall thefuck​ pip3 install --user git+https://github.com/nvbn/thefuck --break-system-packages Worked for me

pip3 uninstall thefuck​ pip3 install --user git+nvbn/thefuck --break-system-packages Worked for me

worked for me too, here without the linkifier:

pip3 install --user git+https://github.com/nvbn/thefuck --break-system-packages

[sid2364]

Should we really be using --break-system-packages? The whole point of it to not mess with the system installation of Python. It's clearly not recommended as an installation method. This seems unnecessarily dangerous...

Thoughts?

[PVTejas]

You're right. we need to be VERY careful using that option. In my opinion, it's fine in this case because:

• thefuck doesn't overwrite an existing system package
• requirements.txt specifies a version for only one package: setup-tools, and it is a >= type so it is likely fine in py3.12

Still, it's good to be clear about these reasons, so thanks for bringing it up.

[sean-abbott]

Uninstalling for now (my install via pipx was complaining about no distutils, and when I tried to install distutils in the virtuealenv it complained), but will return if it's fixed. :-)
