Additional context

I am not a expert when it comes to installing python packages... especially on linux.
I don't know what is the best way to install pip packages as of PEP668.
I tried to install the dependencies (requests pint simpleeval parsedatetime) by creating a venv in /usr/local/venv.
If you have any better way of installing pip packages, feel free to tell me... Maybe the dependencies aren't recognised by the extension.

I am not sure if Ulauncher dev team has enabled a virtualenv per extension, but for now you should install the dependencies using python -m pip install/python3 -m pip install outside of virtual environments

In my case, this did the trick :

sudo apt install python3-pint python3-simpleeval python3-parsedatetime python3-tz

[sebastian-65]

Updating these fixed it for me on Arch:

yay -Sy --needed python-pint  python-simpleeval python-parsedatetime python-pytz

This person solved it in their nix config, which I copied for mine :D https://github.com/b3nj5m1n/dotfiles/blob/ca39a62644bc97ec9e61dea3ad63cfdfb4aa6ef1/nix/modules/nixos/ulauncher.nix

Getting the same issue issue (I think?) under Bluefin (Silverblue / Universal Blue). I'm new to Linux desktops (well; that's not true, but I didn't run one in 15 years as my daily driver until today)...but I'm happy to help debug or whatnot!

@toriacx, Do any of the solutions above work for you?

Generally, the package issue is hard to fix. Normally, the extensions should run in their own virtual environment, and honestly, from the u-launcher perspective, it should not be that hard to implement.
