Try cloning the repo directy and running python3 setup.py build

[Arpit Agarwal]

python3 setup.py build works for me.

I'm using ubuntu 16.04 . I have similar problem.
Since I run python3 setup.py build , python3 works well.
However in the case of python2, following problem keeps remaining.

import pydart2
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pydart2/init.py", line 5, in
from . import pydart2_api as papi
ImportError: cannot import name pydart2_api

I think you have to run setup.py build using python2 if you want python2 and python3 if you want python3

I am using pydart2 on python2.7 and what worked for me was to copy the contents in pydart2/pydart2/. to miniconda/env/aakash/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pydart2

import pydart2 as pydart
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

    from . import pydart2_api as papi
ImportError: cannot import name 'pydart2_api'

I tried building from source and installing with pip3
Neither works.

Hello, I have tried both installing with pip and building from source but I get the same error as @vyi

< import pydart2 as pydart

Are you installing the right version of dartsim?

[Juan]

@Ninjninja do you know what is the last version of dartsim compatible with pydart2? I am having the same issue and reverted to dartsim 6.8.2 without success when building pydart2 from source and trying to import it. Please see here.

This worked for me on python3 as well. I copied it into /home/[username]/anaconda3/envs/[env name]/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pydart2 instead.
