Flatpak: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'steam

[DScottArch]

I have a different path for Steam through Flatpak, I tried pointing to Steam and com.valvesoftware.Steam and netiher one works with the script. Any help would be appreciated.

You need vdf and steam Python modules; install via e.g. python3 -m pip install --user vdf steam

I was looking in /var not ~/.var. Sorry about that. I installed vdf and steam modules, and the script ran, but desktop icons still not showing up.

[gasinvein]

Did the script find any games? Can you please show its console output?

It's finding the games, but not seeing them on desktop.

I tried again setting the -d option to ~/Desktop and got the applications and icons folders.

[DScottArch]

I edited the script:

def save_desktop_entry(self, destdir: Path, steam_cmd: str = DEFAULT_STEAM_CMD):
        app_desktop = DesktopFileParser()
        app_desktop.read_dict(self.get_desktop_entry(steam_cmd))

        ### Changed app_desktop_file directory:
        ### From: app_desktop_file = destdir / 'applications' / f'{self.desktop_name}.desktop'
        ### To app_desktop_file = destdir / f'{self.desktop_name}.desktop'
 
        app_desktop_file = destdir / f'{self.desktop_name}.desktop'
        logging.info('save_desktop_entry - %s', app_desktop_file)
        app_desktop_file.parent.mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)
        with app_desktop_file.open('w') as df:
            app_desktop.write(df, space_around_delimiters=False)

Commented out app.extract_icons(destdir) in def create_desktop_data() function to make sure icons folder wasn't extracted to desktop.

Now it's working as expected.

Thank you for your work on this script! I learned a lot reading through it, maybe will start making my own :)

You shouldn't normally need the -d option (and setting the target to ~/Desktop is surely wrong).
By default it writes .desktop entries and icons to ~/.local/share, from where most DE should pick it up. Did you try re-logging into your DE?

[DScottArch]

It went to ~/.local/share, but wasn't showing up on the desktop. I'll double check just to make sure I didn't do something else wrong.

[gasinvein]

That's strange, .desktop files from ~/.local/share should've shown up. What's your DE?
