Reassigning to Jürgen- this seems an error in the yaml package itself, not in processing.

#2 Updated by Jürgen Fischer over 7 years ago

Not reproducable here. Apparently it's a stale pyc. Is python3-pyyaml installed? qgis-dev depends on it.

Ok - confirmed. Removing all .pyc files from the osgeo4w folder and restarting fixed this for me.

#5 Updated by Richard Duivenvoorde over 7 years ago

Thanks for looking into it. I cannot confirm untill next week when I'm working on that machine again.

So this is a left over from a qgis.2x run in the same folder?
Could be because I installed from an excisting osgeo4w install/folder.

What I'm curious now for is if this could also happen when you install both 2.x and 3/2.99 in same osgeo4w64 folder and first run 2.x (generating .pyc files) and then try to run 3 (picking up those files?)...

Feel free to close it, I will open it when it does not fix my problem.

The python3 and python2 installs are different directories. Interesting would be which file it actually is.

That should work.

I had the same problem... Deleting C:\\OSGeo4W64\\apps\\qgis-dev\\python\\yaml\\__init__.pyc seemed to help...

Is it safe to remove it?

Yes - that's from an previous python2 based qgis-dev. Fixed in 702d4cc1.

#9 Updated by Richard Duivenvoorde over 7 years ago

Yep, confirmed here too. Removed all *.pyc files and works!
