Hello guys,

First thank Beets devs and contributors for everything. You are GREAT.

Anyway, when I import my music album using Beets, it keeps telling me: /home/user/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pylast/ **init**.py:51: UserWarning: You are using pylast with Python 2. Pylast will soon be Python 3 only. More info: [https://github.com/pylast/pylast/issues/265](https://github.com/pylast/pylast/issues/265)

I don’t know nothing about Python, but I’ve been lookin on the github and other forum, and I could not find a way to proceed the updating.

Could someone have an answer?  
I’m using Ubuntu 18.04.

Thank you really much

Have been following the following apastuszak’s solution: [Using Python3](https://discourse.beets.io/t/using-python3/755/6)

But it’s the same message again.

Indeed! Upgrade to Python 3; that’s the thing to do. You probably need to uninstall beets on Python 2 first.

Thank you Adrian.

Would you, please, be nice and tell me how to do those two steps?

Thanks in advance.

Been doing what you indicate in this post: [Moving Beets from Python 2.7 to 3.7.1 on MacOS](https://discourse.beets.io/t/moving-beets-from-python-2-7-to-3-7-1-on-macos/533)

_`pip uninstall beets` to remove the version from the Python 2 installation before doing `pip3 install beets`_

That means the Python 2 version did not uninstall correctly. I don’t have specific ideas for how to solve it, but googling information about how to uninstall Python libraries might help.
