Problem with installing the Add On on Blender 2.79 (screenshot)

[deejayingo]

You are awsome! I love projects like this and working on my c++ skills to join the developer team.
Sadly the plugin seems not to work - installed the .zip file, created with cmake make ... a new zip file but this error appears:

Thanks for some advice or a solution in advance, Ingo

Good to hear! That's weird though -- the crash isn't happening in our code at all (webbrowser.py)
What Blender version are you on? (edit: 2.79 apparently) Do other addons work?

Aha! This is in fact a Python bug: https://bugs.python.org/issue31014, python/cpython#7267

It should be fixed in 3.7.1.

Hi,
Awesome project with so many possibilities! Thanks so much for your work.

On the preferences screen after selecting the .zip plugin, when I click on the check box to enable the plugin I get this error message.

The same thing happened on 2.7 and then I upgraded to 2.9 on the same Win 10 machine. I have blender installed on my G drive.

Hope this helps,
Bill

@westlabill Read the error message carefully: You should download the plugin from the releases page instead of taking a zip of the master branch.

2.7 shouldn't work any more, but I just tried 2.9 and it works fine.

If you have further issues, preferably open a new issue instead of replying to an existing one. Thanks!
