Can't install dbus-python on Ubuntu with Python3.8

9.6k Views Asked by At

I want to install HP driver (hplip) on my Ubuntu.

It tries to install d-bus python package, but fails and says to install it manually.

Installation with "apt" works fine, but maybe not for my main Python version and that's why hplip failed:

sudo apt install -y dbus

... works well

>>> import dbus
Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/dbus/types.py", line 6, in <module>
    from _dbus_bindings import (

So I tried this:

pip3 install dbus-python

But didn't succed:

I have tried

pip3 install --upgrade setuptools

, it works fine.

What can I do?
