Problem installing in kali

[JPwnage]

I tried to install in burp first and when that failed, I decided just to install and use the cli version instead but got many errors:

Hello @JPwnage, I'm also getting these install errors in Kali. I wonder if setup.py was originally written in Python 2 as Python 2 didn't require print statements to use parenthesis, but Python 3 does and the error that you and I are getting is saying that the print statement is missing parenthesis. I was seeing the issue attempting to install on a box with Python 3.11.1 installed.

I wonder if this would be a problem too? It looks like wsgiref 0.1.2 is only compatible with python 3.6 or less. Although, I think python 3.11 has a wsgiref utility built-in per the following python3 documentation:

https://docs.python.org/3/library/wsgiref.html#module-wsgiref

Hi the reason why we are encountering problems is because the is python 2 and kali has python 3 and the code isn't compatible with python 3.

Solution is to setup a python 2.7 environment

cd tplmap
virtualenv -p python2 venv

source venv/bin/activate

run these commands

git clone https://github.com/epinna/tplmap.git
cd tplmap
pip install virtualenv
virtualenv -p python2 venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
./tplmap.py -u 'http://<TARGET IP>:<PORT>' -d name=john

Solution is to setup a python 2.7 environment

> cd tplmap 

virtualenv -p python2 venv
> 
> source venv/bin/activate

After that use these commands to start your environment after install.

I actually put it in a script and for easy setup

Hi JPwnage. Thanks for giving me a lesson in Python2 virtual environments :D

I get the following when trying to run the virtualenv piece:
Exception: Wheel for wheel for Python 2.7 is unavailable. apt install python2-wheel-whl
apt can't locate the python2-wheel-whl app, and Googling isn't getting me anywhere.

I get the following when trying to run the virtualenv piece:我在尝试运行virtualenv时得到以下结果： Exception: Wheel for wheel for Python 2.7 is unavailable. apt install python2-wheel-whl apt can't locate the python2-wheel-whl app, and Googling isn't getting me anywhere.apt找不到python 2-wheel-whl应用程序，谷歌搜索也没有找到任何地方。

I fixed some problems, maybe this helps you. https://github.com/qNwNp/tplmap
