What happens when you do following?

python -c 'import ngsolve'
echo %PYTHONPATH%

I think the issue may be that the PYTHONPATH did not get sourced in the 'git bash' mingw shell I used to do the build. Maybe if I closed and re-opened the shell after doing
Code:
cmake --build . --config Release --target set_environment_variables
but before doing the install step it would work? I can try that.

In the mingw shell I used to perform the (failed) build, if I cd to my home directory:
Code:
$ pwd /c/Users/Dow $ python -c 'import ngsolve' Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'ngsolve'
If I go back to the build directory and try, I get
Code:
$ cd ngsuite/build $ pwd /c/Users/Dow/ngsuite/build $ python -c 'import ngsolve'
So the import succeeds. If I do
Code:
$ echo $PYTHONPATH C:\Users\Dow;C:\Users\Dow\python;
(doesn't have ngsolve).

Now if I open a new 'git bash' shell, I see
Code:
$ echo $PYTHONPATH C:\Users\Dow\ngsuite\install\;C:\Users\Dow;C:\Users\Dow\python;
so the environment variable is set, but in that same shell,
Code:
$ python -c 'import ngsolve' Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'ngsolve'
unless I cd to the build directory.

I see this same behavior if I open a regular command terminal
Code:
C:\Users\Dow>python -c "import ngsolve" Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'ngsolve' C:\Users\Dow>cd ngsuite/build C:\Users\Dow\ngsuite\build>python -c "import ngsolve" C:\Users\Dow\ngsuite\build>echo %PYTHONPATH% C:\Users\Dow\ngsuite\install\;C:\Users\Dow;C:\Users\Dow\python;

I tried this just now, but got the same error in the install step

Hi Dow,

In your case, PYTHONPATH should have the value
C:/UsersDow/ngsuite/install/Lib/site-packages
This is where the python packages/modules are installed. (See the output.txt you sent).

I will test on Windows if there is an issue with the set_environment_variables target in
CMake.

Best,
Matthias

Hi Dow,

I just tried it on Windows and it seems there is a problem with Python 3.8 (might be releated to Tcl/Tk).
Please downgrade to Python 3.7 and try again.

Best,
Matthias

Thanks, Matthias! Downgrading to Python 3.7 eliminated the build error.

Then to get things working, I just had to
add %NETGENDIR% to my path and
add C:\Users\dow\ngsuite\install\lib\site-packages to my PYTHONPATH

Best,
Dow
