Any thoughts? > Hmm, yeah - looks like you may have a Python installation in /home/rod/.local/lib/python3.5 that got into the path? Try temporarily moving it out of the way and see if that helps. Also, check in ~/.config/pgadmin/pgadmin4.conf to see if there's a PythonPath key that's confusing things. See https://www.pgadmin.org/docs/pgadmin4/4.25/desktop_deployment.html for more info. FYI, our Ubuntu packages ship with a virtual environment in /usr/pgadmin4/venv/ which is based on the system install of Python 3.7. -- Dave Page Blog: http://pgsnake.blogspot.com Twitter: @pgsnake EDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com
