ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '__main__.vtt'; '__main__' is not a package

[Gribouillis]

Then write the full path to myvideogrep.py instead of myvideogrep.py

[MM2018]

I saved this in C:\Python37,

C:\Users\YL>python myvideogrep.py -i "C:\A" --search 'Not you' -o "C:\test.mp4"
(null): can't open file 'myvideogrep.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

[Gribouillis]

Then use full path python C:\Python37\myvideogrep.py -i "C:\A" --search 'Not you' -o "C:\test.mp4"

[MM2018]

Then use full path python C:\Python37\myvideogrep.py -i "C:\A" --search 'Not you' -o "C:\test.mp4"

Finally works for this, but I have tried.

C:\Users\YL>python C:\Python37\myvideogrep.py -i "C:\A" --search 'Not you' -o "C:\test.mp4"
usage: myvideogrep.py [-h] --input [INPUTFILE [INPUTFILE ...]]
                      [--search SEARCH]
                      [--search-type {re,pos,hyper,fragment,franken,word}]

                      [--resyncsubs SYNC] [--transcribe] [--ngrams NGRAMS]
myvideogrep.py: error: unrecognized arguments: you'

So I used different file to test out but new problem just arouse, I am getting same error like this.

I don't know how Albertkaruna solved this issue as he closed that issue.
Now I need to learn more about it.

[Gribouillis]

I use Windows command line once in a great while but perhaps "Not you" would work better than 'Not you'. The command line is not Python.

Really annoying and mysterious!

Really annoying and mysterious!

Nothing mysterious, it is a bug. You can send a bug report, use another program or fork the program and develop it by your own means.

[MM2018]

You can send a bug report,

Ok, I sent it.

use another program

There is no alternative program like Videogrep currently. Some programs are outdated, so I don't test them.

or fork the program and develop it by your own means.

Just started learning Python, don't know how long to fork/develop this!
This is why I posted here to fix this issue by someone as original author muted my issues.
or maybe I tried linux one more time.

[MM2018]

I have tested High Sierra MacOSX on Virtualbox, and downloaded apps, and not run via Terminal, works flawlessly.
But same file was not works on Windows10/Ubuntu linux with 64bit python 3.7.
Any expert fix this, really weird problem on other os!

Any expert fix this, really weird problem on other os!

The problem is that author has never tested it or make an effort to make it work on Windows.
In setup.py there is:

setup(name='videogrep',
      ...     
      scripts = ['bin/videogrep'],

This will not make a executable command line .exe for Windows.
It could have been done with entry_points in setup.py.
This will make executable for all OS,also it will make a .exe videogrep.exe in folder Python../Scripts for Windows.
Eg:

setup(
    ...
    entry_points = {
        'console_scripts': [
            'foo = package.module:videogrep',
        ],
    }
)

Click author Armin explain it here.

If i have time i can maybe look into into source code,
and see if it possibly to use entry_points,so videogrep will make a videogrep.exe for Windows.
You can make and Issues on Repo about this,the problem can be that author is no longer active or will not test for Windows.
