[SOLVED] Adding SOFA module to Spyder

[Zahra]

Hi,

Where is the library of SOFA? How can I add it to Spyder path so that I can run the sofa python script in Spyder and evaluate it line to line? I import SOFA in the script but when I run the file in Spyder it gives me ImportError: No module named Sofa

Python scripting

The core of this plugin is the Sofa Python module available to python scripts from within the SofaPython components (they are not available outside Sofa environment, in the command-line python binary for example).

Dear @egarcm,

Thank you for your explanation.

Hi @zahra,

As @egarcm mentioned, you can first find documentation online.
Moreover, I would advise you to have a look at the SOFA examples in sofa/applications/plugins/SofaPython/examples/ (especially the EmptyController.py).

Note that these scripts can only be run using the executable runSofa but not in a classical Python environment.
Developers of the community are currently working on this new version of SOFA, fully usable in classical Python environments like Spyder.

Best,

Hugo

Dear @Hugo,

Thank you very much for your advice, the mentioned SOFA examples are quite helpful.

It is a good news that SOFA would be usable in classical Python environments soon. Looking forward for it.

Best regards,

Zahra
