modulenotfounderror: no module named 'mediapipe.python._framework_bindings'

import mediapipe

raising as error of framework_binding in raspberry pi 3 b+.

[Danny]

The same error happened in raspi 4b

" from mediapipe.python._framework_bindings import resource_util
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'mediapipe.python._framework_bindings'"

What can I do? Thanks!

[InkDoMink]

Same

[Danny]

Finally, today in the afternoon, I tried "pip install mediapipe" on raspi4B 64bit python3.9
It works! maybe you can have a try.

May I know do you just type pip install mediapipe in command line? Mine doesnt seem to work on raspi 4B

---The Way I Install Mediapipe---

Firstly,get a new system:Raspberry Pi OS (64bit) (2022.1.28)
$python -V
Python 3.9.2
$sudo apt update
$sudo apt upgrade
$pip install opencv-python
$pip install opencv-contrib-python
$pip install mediapipe (mediapipe-0.8.9.1-cp39-cp39-manylinux2014_aarch64.whl)

[automatically installed：
matplotlib==3.5.1
attrs>=19.1.0
absl-py==1.0.0
protobuf>=3.11.4
packaging>=20.0
cycler>=0.10
kiwisolver>=1.0.1
python-dateutil==2.8.2
fonttools>=4.22.0]

I can confirm @NowLoadY 's instructions work - using Raspberry Pi OS (64-bit) lite 2022-04-04

I had to install python3-opencv from apt as well to get all the required dependencies (likely because it's the lite raspberry pi image)

I followed @NowLoadY 's instructions and, even though Mediapipe appeared to install correctly, when I tried to "import" it i received a few errors, per below:

import mediapipe

TypeError: Descriptors cannot not be created directly.
If this call came from a _pb2.py file, your generated code is out of date and must be regenerated with protoc >= 3.19.0.
If you cannot immediately regenerate your protos, some other possible workarounds are:

1. Downgrade the protobuf package to 3.20.x or lower.
2. Set PROTOCOL_BUFFERS_PYTHON_IMPLEMENTATION=python (but this will use pure-Python parsing and will be much slower).

More information: https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/news/2022-05-06#python-updates

I'm no expert but did a few searches and, after downgrading PROTOBUF to 3.20.0 (pip install protobuf==3.20.0), it all worked!

hope this helps!

I can confirm that the NowLoadY instructions work on a raspberry pi 4 with a small addition. Here is the script:

NOTE: use 64 bit OS (64bit) (2022.1.28) on raspberry pi 4

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
pip install opencv-python
pip install opencv-contrib-python
pip install mediapipe==0.8.9.1
pip uninstall protobuf
pip install protobuf==3.20.0

Kind regards,
Rob

You're welcome, it's not my credit, I simply gave the command line instructions, and I'm more grateful for later additions.❤️
