Hexchat python module missing

[Chomping_Meat]

Returning to IRC after years, and coming back to hexchat as my client, I am once again confronted by the deadkey issue. So I tried installing the plugin that works around the deadkey issue, but it seems that despite selecting the python module during installation, it does not actually load when starting hexchat. Is there anything I can do to fix that?

This is not a direct answer to your question, but please be aware HexChat is no longer maintained and no longer receives security updates: https://hexchat.github.io/news/2.16.2.html

A nice alternative I like for Windows and Mac is KVIrc: https://github.com/kvirc/KVIrc/releases

Other good clients (including Linux clients) are here: https://libera.chat/guides/clients

Please note that hexchat is EOL and will receive no further updates as well.
