ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'SofaRuntime.SofaRuntime' on macOS running on M3

[bhattner143]

I have downloaded the sofa binary for Mac OS and I am able to run the runSofa. However when I am trying to run the Python code from the terminal, I am getting the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/dipankarbhattacharya/Documents/python/hello.py", line 12, in <module>
    import SofaRuntime
  File "/Users/dipankarbhattacharya/Documents/SOFA_v24.06.00_MacOS/plugins/SofaPython3/lib/python3/site-packages/SofaRuntime/__init__.py", line 7, in <module>
    from .SofaRuntime import *
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'SofaRuntime.SofaRuntime

I am also uploading the PATH, PYTHONPATH, and SOFA_ROOT variable

Hi @bhattner143

Since you are using the SOFA binaries, I guess there is some inconsistency of Python version. SOFA is compiled using 3.10.10 (as detailed here) while you have 3.12 on your machine.

Could you try using a 3.10 Python version?
If not we could try a Conda alternative (beta version).

Hello,

I am sorry, but I am not a apple expert. I can suggest one last thing : if you are launching your scene directly through python, it might be the issue. Try running it using runSofa.

And if that doesn't work for you, I suggest that you compile SOFA yourself, it is actually quite easy. I am sure that every dependency are available either on conda forge or home brew.

Tell me how it goes !

Thanks for your help. Actually on my apple silicon the runSofa works fine, but I am getting the problem with sofaPython.

I will try to figure it out.

I see @bhattner143 that the import does : SofaRuntime.SofaRuntime
Is this explicitly imported within your python script ?

This is my code:

My error:

My .bashrc file

It seems that you are using the binary version of SOFA @bhattner143. I would advise to compile SOFA yourself

[bhattner143]

This is the PATH variable

PYTHONPATH

SOFA_ROOT

It seems that you are using the binary version of SOFA @bhattner143. I would advise to compile SOFA yourself
