Error: FileHandle.__init__() got some positional-only arguments passed as keyword arguments: 'file'

From an e-mail I received:

Everytime I try to select a TVIPS-video file in "STEP 1" I get the following error, which I also attached as a screenshot:

Error: FileHandle.__init__() got some positional-only arguments passed as keyword arguments: 'file'

It does not matter if I click "update preview" or "start conversion" - the error keeps occuring.

Do you have a suggestion what I could do?

@din14970 by any chance did you ever get to the bottom of this? I'm having a similar issue

Unfortunately I don't have the time to do a deep dive on this and can't tell you when I would. If you really need it and have the time to dig into it I would welcome a pull request with a fix. Alternatively you can have a look at @harripj 's fork, as he seems to have done quite a lot of development since I last touched this project. However, I think also he is no longer actively working on it. You may also try to install an earlier version of this tool from pypy if the latest version is broken for you. If you just need a way to open the TVIPS file, I would recommend the TVIPS file reader in hyperspy which I wrote. The main usecase for this tool is if you need to re-assemble the scan grid in the 4D-STEM experiment.
