I'm having a problem to run Deluge,
starting deluge from the command line will produce this stacktrace, which didn't help me to find any thing on Google.
I also tried to delete the configuration folder on my home folder, but didn't help either.

looks like to me some deppendencies from modules OpenSSL loads is missing. try "sudo pip install pyopenssl" maybe?

Try updating six module, that is what is giving the "ImportError: cannot import name indexbytes". Have you read this: https://github.com/jstasiak/python-zeroconf/issues/21

Thanks, Yes I did found this page, and also tried to upgrade six, and as you can see from the above output "six" package is up2date.

but what i'm note sure about is the this, I run the commands mention by jstasiak on the above github issue, and got this resolt.

Code: Select all

» python -c "import six; print(six.__file__, six.__version__)"
('/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/six.pyc', '1.2.0')

» grep -n indexbytes `python -c "import six; print(six.__file__.replace('.pyc', '.py'))"`
(return nothing)

but from the output above `six` package should be on version 1.9.0

--- UPDATE ---

The above answer made me think again about the file /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/six.pyc
so i remove six by running `pip uninstall six` and then reinstall the package again.

and now deluge is back and running again.

thanks
