I get a similar error with "sigexport --list-chats", every time.

It seems like you're using an old version of signal-export, can you please try to install the latest with:

pip install 'signal-export>=2.3.4'

[nakic]

@carderne , thank you for a blazingly fast response. This is what I get:

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement signal-export>=2.3.4 (from versions: 1.1.0, 1.1.1, 1.1.2, 1.2.0, 1.2.1, 1.2.2, 1.2.3, 1.2.4, 1.3.0, 1.3.1, 1.4.2, 1.5.0, 1.5.1, 1.5.2, 1.5.3, 1.5.4, 1.5.5, 1.6.0, 1.6.1, 1.7.0, 1.7.1, 1.8.0, 1.8.1, 1.8.2)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for signal-export>=2.3.4

[carderne]

Oh sorry you must be on Python 3.8, the signal-export after v2.0.0 require Python >= 3.9
(You can run python --version to confirm.)

Are you able to install Python 3.9 or a newer version?

If you're not able to, you can try following these instructions to do it without Python:
