dependency cchardet cannot be installed on python 3.11

[pleblancq]

Hi,

since HomeAssistant v2023.3.0, we can install HomeAssistant with python 3.11

Your sensors has a dependency that is not working with python 3.11 (cchardet).

see thewhiteh4t/nexfil#24 stating that cchardet seems to be abandonned.

You could easily migrate to charset_normalizer.

I changed the import cchardet in core_async.py to

from charset_normalizer import detect

and changed the detect line to:

encoding = detect(content).get("encoding")

and everyhing works fine.

Would be nice if you could add this modification so people migrating to v3.11 will be able to use your sensors.

Thanks

Thanks for this suggestion. I'm busy with work and far from home on this period, I will implement suggested changes as soon I will be back home.

I'm running HA on Python 3.10.10 and also got an error logged when HA tried to install cchardet as a dependency of smartthinq-sensors. OP's suggestion (and updating manifest.json) got me to the account information screen. \o/
Let's see how the rest works out. :)

Hi, You need to change manifest.json do not try to install cchardet. Try something like that: $ cat manifest.json { "domain": "smartthinq_sensors", "name": "SmartThinQ LGE Sensors", "integration_type": "hub", "documentation": "https://github.com/ollo69/ha-smartthinq-sensors", "issue_tracker": "https://github.com/ollo69/ha-smartthinq-sensors/issues", "dependencies": [], "codeowners": ***@***.***"], "requirements": ["pycountry>=20.7.3", "xmltodict>=0.12.0", "charset-normalizer>=2.1.1"], "config_flow": true, "iot_class": "cloud_polling", "version": "0.31.4" } Regrets,
