please file this as a bug at the upstream project
https://github.com/themix-project/oomox

[theofficialgman]

if you check the code, that is supposed to be a python version checker script.
only python 3.10+ are supported by upstream it appears for a few months now https://github.com/themix-project/themix-gui/blob/master/oomox_gui/__init__.py#L10

[theofficialgman]

On ubuntu python3.10 can be obtained for bionic/focal from the deadsnakes ppa and it will not interfere with the default system python3 version (whatever version that may be)

will look into this for bionic/focal/buster/bullseye as none of them have python3.10+

@theofficialgman Is it possible to temporarily make the repo download of this version? It works. You updated the script to update the program, but the new version does not work. Just as a guess.

actually no the script just downloads the latest git repo version on installation. there is no updating or version downloading in it

we really need to go through all scripts and make sure this isn't the case

now using 1.15.1 with this commit 64bbda1

leaving this issue open and changed to a suggestion so that we don't forget that eventually a new release of oomox theme designer will be released that requires 3.10+
