Issues with pythonically importing FreeCAD (after conda install)

[roxanebruhwyler]

Hello every body !

In order to use the python package OTSun (https://pypi.org/project/OTSun/), the libraries of FreeCAD must be available and included in my python path. So I install freecad in my working environment thank's to : conda install -c conda-forge freecad (https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/freecad). For information I work with anaconda prompt and I try with python 3.6.6 and python 3.8.
But when I try to import freecad (with import freecad or import FreeCAD), I have a message telling me : no module named 'FreeCAD'.
For information I dowloaded FreeCAD 0.18 before trying all of this. And the I try again after having uninstall it.

If you have any suggestion of what could be the problem it would be very nice !
Thank you in advance

I think for 0.18 you need to modify the path. In 0.19 you should be able to import freecad via:

Code: Select all

import freecad

Sorry for this late answer. I tried many things to make it works until my last post.
I am now on Ubuntu 20.4 with FeeCAD 0.18.4 (Python 3.8.5 (default, Jan 27 2021, 15:41:15) [GCC 9.3.0]) and I work on Pycharm community (Python 3.8.5 (default, Sep 4 2020, 07:30:14) [GCC 7.3.0]).

Things such as :

import sys
sys.path.append("/usr/lib/freecad-python3/lib")
import FreeCAD

don't work. I rode that the aim is to give the path to the FreeCAD.so file but I don't understand why ? My objective is to be able to use FreeCAD module in my python interpreter and so to be able to import FreeCAD without any problems. For the moment, the message I get is "No module named "FreeCAD".

Thank you in advance for your time ...
