Only private modules found about g2opy

For those having the same problem, first don't run any export PYTHON_PATH=PATH-to-g2o/g2o:$PYTHONPATH because the g2o folder is written in C++ and not what you want.

As discussed here, you need to build for the python version you're using. Remove the build folder and re-run cmake with:

cmake -DPYBIND11_PYTHON_VERSION=3.6 ..
make -j8

which will create g2o.cpython-36m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so in the /lib folder (instead of 37m). Finally, make sure that there is only one g2o*.so file in the /lib folder before running python setup.

This is due to the fact the External/pybind11/CMakeLists.txt computed wrong version of python.

After some modification you can get correction python library with correct extension name:

Pybind11 will generate correct library for corresponding python executables. Using sudo is prohibited because it will use system installed python which will creates global conflicts later.

@minhkhang1795 @uoip I have to see scripts of External/pybind11/CMakeLists.txt only to find that they are messed up the real python package used in the project.

The author wanted to use "PYTHON_BUILD_MODULE" but it actually sets to "" and moreover, setting these variables in "External/pybind11/CMakeLists.txt" in child scope makes no effects on "python/CMakeLists.txt" .

These two mistakes lead to wrong configuration for python!

The same question as yours, did you find any solutions?

[varun19299]

Installing with sudo (I was okay with that since I was using it in a container) seemed to work.

Naturally that would be in the system python. I don't quite understand the issue though? Do some modules under the Cmake file have permission requirements?

[EnriqueSolarte]

hi everybody,
@Haotian-Zhang. did you solve this issue? I am still on error.

AttributeError: module 'g2o' has no attribute 'BlockSolverSE3'

[EnriqueSolarte]

I solved my problem.
I was trying to install on python 3.6... it doesn't work. I installed on python 3.5.2
I installed in the default python3 of UBUNTU 16.04.

python3 setup.py install

I also created a conda env.

conda create -n g2o_env python=3.5.2
conda activate g2o_env 
conda python setup.py install

Remember that setup.py script is under the directory project....

Installing g2opy under sudo worked for me.

[varun19299]

Yeah but that isn't a recommended way

For some reason, g2opy is creating a python3.7 library. If I create a virtualenv with python3.7, I am able to use it. The generated so file is called g2o.cpython-37m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so. How do I force g2opy to compile with 3.6 or any arbitrary python version?

(Also, renaming g2o.cpython-37m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so to g2o.cpython-36m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so gives an import error for the version mismatch)

[kaixinbear]

I install g2opy with sudo ,but it doesn't work either...
