Can not run .py files using python interpreter (OS: Ubuntu 20.04, SOFA v21.12, Python 3.7.16)

[nhnhan92]

Hi everyone, I have been trying to run my .py files using python interpreter (using VS code). Every time I execute a file in terminal, the following error comes out:
" import Sofa
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'Sofa' "

I have followed the instructions described on this site: by setting the addresses of

SOFA_ROOT: "~Desktop/sofa/build/v21.12$ export SOFA_ROOT="/home/xxx/Desktop/sofa/build/v21.12/install"

and

PYTHONPATH: "/Desktop/sofa/build/v21.12$ export PYTHONPATH="/home/xxx/Desktop/sofa/build/v21.12/lib/python3/site-packages"

Sofa and sofapython3 work without errors within "runSofa". I am not sure what I am missing or doing wrong, I highly appreciate any detail guidance with this issue. Thank you.

OS: Ubuntu 20.04
Sofa ver: 21.12
Python ver: 3.7.16

Hi everyone,
I am having the same issue right now when trying to run a .py file using terminal on macos (latest version and a downgraded python2.7.18). Does anyone solve this problem?
Thank you !

Hi guys @nhnhan92 @amadou38

This therefore means that the previous PYTHONPATH is incorrect or not found. Have you checked that the path is correct?

For me (also on Ubuntu), it is :
export PYTHONPATH=/.../SOFA_v22.06.00_Linux/plugins/SofaPython3/lib/python3/site-packages/
(NOTE the difference between your path and mine with the plugins/SofaPython3/..)

You could also try in your python interpreter to run:

import os
user = os.environ['PYTHONPATH']

FYI I just updated the doc (source files of the doc not yet online) in a SofaPython3 PR: sofa-framework/SofaPython3#329

Best wishes
