Thanks for the suggestion sdjf. I`m also naive about networking... My group of PIs have to connect together even if they are out of range of a wireless router, and it is the best way to construct this stand-alone network that I am currently trying to discover. Once there is a wifi network available,...

I tested again with a brand new installation of Arch via NOOBS: login as root # pacman -Syu # pacman -S python # pacman -S python-pip (All OK so far...) # pip install watchdog And I get the same error. Perhaps Python Watchdog is just incompatible wit...

I am trying to install the Python Watchdog module so that my script can send keep-alive ticks to the PI's hardware watchdog. The command pip install watchdog gives this..
