Im dealing with some python3 crap today on my main laptop.

Primarily, because of a library I compiled and installed, I'm getting other nasty side effects form it. Primarily that protonvpn-cli isnt now running becasue of some broken library.

I've never had bash break like that. Quirks, sure. But never this sort of brokenness.

I had a similar problem with the YouTube plugin for Kodi recently. Turned out to be some weird Python 3.10 regression that took over a month to fix.

For ProtonVPN you can also use the OpenVPN config files they provide to avoid any Python client issues. Ironically I have a Bash script written around that to generate individual ovpn files as needed from the zip for myself.
