pip install g3hardware Common errors
error AttributeError: module 'g3hardware' has no attribute 'generate_config' ↓
cause Incorrect import path; the submodule 'generator' does not expose the function.
fix
Use 'from g3hardware import generate_config' instead of 'from g3hardware.generator import generate_config'.
error TypeError: generate_config() got an unexpected keyword argument 'config_type' ↓
cause Parameter name changed in version 0.2.10.
fix
Replace 'config_type' with 'generator_type'.
error pip install: ERROR: Package 'g3hardware' requires a different Python: 3.9.x not in '>=3.10' ↓
cause Installing on Python version older than 3.10.
fix
Upgrade to Python 3.10 or later, or create a new virtual environment with Python 3.10+.
Warnings
gotcha Output format: The generate_config function returns bytes by default (or string in some contexts). Always check the type and decode appropriately. ↓
fix Wrap output with config.decode() if bytes is returned, or use config = generate_config(…).decode('utf-8') if you need a string.
gotcha Python version requirement: Requires Python >=3.10. Installing on older Pythons will fail during installation. ↓
fix Ensure your environment uses Python 3.10 or higher.
deprecated The parameter 'config_type' in some generation functions is deprecated in favor of 'generator_type'. ↓
fix Replace 'config_type' with 'generator_type' in function calls.
