@thorstenkampe Try specifying the protocol also, like python.exe k6control.py -a http://localhost:6565

Ah, okay. My invocation came directly from the Usage chapter of k6control's home page (https://github.com/ragnarlonn/k6control). On the other hand, http://localhost:6565 is the default so that is superfluous.

Using https://k6.io/blog/building-a-ui-for-the-k6-load-testing-tool as a guide I was able to get k6control to work. However, k6control as written is a Python 2 application; it needs Python 3 revisions since Python 2 is effectively End of Life.

I've got a PR for Python 3 support, but if that doesn't help or this is effectively considered a 'dead project', I have my fork of https://github.com/teward/k6control which is Python 3 compatible and fixes the other issues observed.
