You mean you literally can't get xmodem? Reading your post, I highlighted "python xmodem" in my Chrome browser and right-clicked to select "Search Google for python xmodem". The first hit was https://pypi.org/project/xmodem/
 
You can use pip to install the package: https://packaging.python.org/tutorials/i...-packages/
xmodem and its follow-ons ymodem and zmodem were my daily companion back in the 1980s when CP/M on homebrew computers was the hacker's playground.

Hi Kent,

Returned to my "broken"  moodeaudio, repeated the usual pip instal dommand. This time from the base  moodeaudio directory not my  dam1021 virtual environment. 

Xmodem installed fine!

I need to look at  virtual environments, and permissions I am not really up to speed with this!,   Can I install python components inside the environment, or do I have to install all the python component prerequsites  globally?

Gradually moving forwards a tiny step at a time.
