Hi Dimon,

you seem to have run into a problem that is encountered by people running systems other than raspberry pi's. The issue is related to updates in the python libararies and failures down the calling stack of pip. I have not encountered this with octolapse, but I have seen this in other plugins.

The issue is that standard library calls changes and I an frankly not sure how the developers are going to resolve this easily.

My solution was to downgrade python and that in itself was not trivial since the basic pip installers have very limited capabilities to create older python virtual environments.

I resorted to minforge and conda to create a python 3.9 environment and proceeded to build octoprint in the miniconda distribution. That solve the problem im my case.

In the anaconda distribution you can specify your python version in the virtual environment creation step. I tried to do this is the python pip setup but ran into issues.

I can try to give more pointers if you want to try that.
