ImportError: No module named MAMEToolkit.sf_environment about mametoolkit

[M-J-Murray]

I was not aware of the dockerized version of mame. The problem is not caused by mame. The library itself uses Linux fifo pipes. I will have to find another mechanism similar to fifo pipes that works on every OS.

Which version of Python are you running? I should probably state this only works on python 3.6+

Mine was 3.5.
With python 3.6, the above error does not occur anymore. Thanks.

Unfortunately the library can only be installed on Linux systems. The frame data is passed from the emulator to the library using linux fifo pipes.

@M-J-Murray ah so! Wonder if it would works with a docker-ized version of MAME like DAME...

@M-J-Murray so to recap, it would work in docker with python 3.6. Where you aware of the dockerized MAME version (DAME)? Thanks
