Glances 4.3.0 | Error while initializing the ports plugin (No implementation for gateways() yet)

[AnthonyBe]

Describe the bug
Ref this as starting point - #3064
So after installing via pip install glances all was fine.
Then ran pip install glances[all] which also installed netifaces2 lib and when I then ran Glances I got error:

C:\WINDOWS\system32>glances -w --fs-free-space --enable-process-extended --config %APPDATA%\glances\glances.conf
Error while initializing the ports plugin (No implementation for `gateways()` yet)

I disabled Ports module in my conf file but it still errors.
After removing Glances and resinstalling (pip install glances) I continued to get the same error.
I've had to delete:

• C:\Python313\Lib\site-packages\netifaces
• C:\Python313\Lib\site-packages\netifaces2-0.0.22.dist-info
  to get Glances running again.

It seems like the move from netifaces to netifaces2 may be the cause of this?

Environment

• Operating System: Windows Server 2016, python 3.13.1
• Glances & psutil versions: Glances version 4.3.0.6, psutil 6.1.0

• the Glances configuration file
  glances.conf-no Ports.txt

[nicolargo]

Yes, netifaces is deprecated and should be uninstall. instead netifaces2 should be install:

pip uninstall netifaces
pip install netifaces2

Yes, netifaces is deprecated and should be uninstall. instead netifaces2 should be install:

Didn't fix the issue! netifaces basically not installed in my server!

I get the aforementioned error when I have netifaces2 installed.
When I uninstall netifaces2 and revert to netifaces, Glances 4.3.0 runs without error.

[AnthonyBe]

I saw Commit 728f86f in 4.3.0.8 and so I retried
pip install --upgrade glances[all] which reinstalled netifaces2 - same error as before.
And as before, when I uninstall netifaces2, Glances runs without error.

What are you thinking here? Is this a Glances/netifaces2 issue? or a Windows python netifaces2 lib issue? or something else again?

Seeing the same thing on my end. I just did a fresh install on my new Mac mini.

[iamronr]

Switched from a python virtualenv install to a homebrew install. It's working again...
