the yowsup library does not work when I try to register

Question

I installed the next packages in my raspberry with pip3: -python-axolotl -protobuf -six -argparse -readline -pillow -tqdm -requests -pycrypto -blinker

Next I installed yowsup with

pip3 install yowsup

So, I download a repository, https://github.com/danielcardeenas/whatsapp-framework, (today is 2019-May-17), I live in Colombian, so I intent send the registration with: yowsup-cli registration --requestcode sms --phone 57317509xxx --cc 57 -E android

but the console print a error:

Answer 1

Had a similar issue

The problem is not with yowsup, but with its dependencies (so it couldn't import: x25519) and concretely with the cryptography library.

The following commands might help you solve it but check while installing that dependencies are solved, because there seems to be a lot of them that have to be manually solved:

pip3 install cryptography --force-reinstall

pip3 install yowsup --force-reinstall

Other commands you may have to use to solve dependencies:

pip3 install python-axolotl-curve25519

pip3 install six==1.10

Hope to at least have pointed in the right direction!
