Requests module missing - app won't launch on Xenial Openbox

[Adrien Monteleone]

Trying out LPlayer on OpenBox running on Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial.

The app failed to launch from the command line.

The following traceback was produced in a terminal:

Traceback(most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/lplayer", line 35, in <module>
    from lplayer.lplayer import main
  File "/usr/share/lplayer/lplayer/lplayer.py", line 44, in <module>
    from .mainwindow import MainWindow

    from .utils import create_thumbnail_for_audio
  File "/usr/share/lplayer/lplayer/utils.py", line 25, in <module>
    import requests
ImportError: No module named 'requests'

running Ubuntu 16.04.4 Xenial Xerus using kernel 4.4.0-116 generic in Virtualbox.

I'll be happy to provide any additional info or logs.

Sorry, I spoke too soon. (I'm not familiar with Python - yet)

I see the 'requests' module is a python3 module not one included in LPlayer.

I also see now that it is listed as a dependency on GitHub, but not apt.

I took a look at lplayer/debian/control and it is missing python3-requests in the Depends section.

Installing the package manually allows it to launch.
