Hey all,
Ive been following [this](https://hackaday.io/project/10338/instructions) on an rpi3 running the newest raspian version. I used a slightly different beginning to this project, setting up an AP according to [this](https://frillip.com/using-your-raspberry-pi-3-as-a-wifi-access-point-with-hostapd/) link and essentially I cannot seem to launch mitmproxy.
I installed the dependancies and the software via “sudo apt-get install python-pip python-dev libffi-dev libssl-dev libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev libjpeg8-dev zlib1g-dev
sudo apt-get install mitmproxy”
When I launch the program from the terminal it fails with ImportError: No module named packaging.version. Any advice?
cheers,

Please take a look at [http://docs.mitmproxy.org/en/stable/install.html](http://docs.mitmproxy.org/en/stable/install.html) for installation instructions. I only briefly looked at the document you linked:
- We now require Python 3
- If you google for “ImportError: No module named packaging.version”, you should find some posts explaining that your pip version is outdated.
