start failure

[eugenetaranov]

Hello,

aq currently fails on importing prompt-toolkit, could you please advise what version of prompt-toolkit is known to work?
pip freeze:
aq==0.1.1 asn1crypto==0.24.0 boto3==1.9.130 botocore==1.12.130 cryptography==2.1.4 docopt==0.6.2 docutils==0.14 enum34==1.1.6 futures==3.2.0 idna==2.6 ipaddress==1.0.17 jmespath==0.9.4 keyring==10.6.0 keyrings.alt==3.0 prompt-toolkit==2.0.9 pycrypto==2.6.1 Pygments==2.3.1 pygobject==3.26.1 pyparsing==2.4.0 python-dateutil==2.8.0 pyxdg==0.25 s3transfer==0.2.0 SecretStorage==2.3.1 six==1.11.0 tabulate==0.8.3 urllib3==1.24.1 wcwidth==0.1.7

I'm pretty sure it broke once it got past 2.x - try grabbing one of the later versions in 1.x.
The changes in prompt-toolkit broke just about everywhere else it was in use with the move to 2.x

Is not broke, prompt_toolkit now works with asyncio. https://github.com/prompt-toolkit/python-prompt-toolkit/blob/master/CHANGELOG#L341

I'll rephrase in case it wasn't obvious. aq is compatible with prompt-toolkit 1.something, it does not work with prompt-toolkit >= 2

I fix this startup error with pip-downgrading some library with :
pip3 install ipython==6.5.0 ptpython==0.41
After starting, aq failed with a Python error "AttributeError", as reported in #7 .

It will be great if we could have a working Docker container with all dependencies in correct version to make aq works.

For me, the failing symptoms are:

me:~$ aq
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/me/.pyenv/versions/3.7.9/bin/aq", line 5, in <module>
    from aq import main
  File "/Users/me/.pyenv/versions/3.7.9/lib/python3.7/site-packages/aq/__init__.py", line 29, in <module>

Be aware that this project is abandon-ware. Last commit is almost 5 years ago.

@john-aws most likely you have installed prompt-toolkit 2.x or 3.x - aq is only compatible with older 1.x versions of prompt-toolkit.

@mtoftum thanks, I missed that.
