How did you solve this issue? I am currently dealing with the exact same error message

I found that the encode=None at the lua runtime was the cause of the issue, but now I can't install the package.

lupa._lupa.LuaError: [string "<python>"]:2: module 'chdkptp' not found:

Looks like the package is looking for the lua files at my relative path not inside the chdkptp installation path.

Wasnt able to install this package but I found a workaround by using calls in my python code to subprocess and the shell script from chdkptp
