Try to make the code run on MacOS BigSur : Error => No module named 'FreeCAD'

[nicolasdavister]

Hello,

I tried to implement the module for Jupiter notebook on MacOS and put the following :

"
import sys, os
JUPYTER_REPO_PATH = "/Users/myself/Jupyter_FreeCAD-master"
sys.path.append("/Applications/FreeCAD.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python3.6/site-packages")
sys.path.append(JUPYTER_REPO_PATH + "IPythonFreeCADViewer")
import FreeCAD, FreeCADGui
from freecadviewer import render_document, get_document_renderer

FreeCADGui.setupWithoutGUI()
"

The error that appears is related to the FreeCAD module:

"

ModuleNotFoundError Traceback (most recent call last)
in
8 sys.path.append(JUPYTER_REPO_PATH + "IPythonFreeCADViewer")
9
---> 10 import FreeCAD, FreeCADGui
11 from freecadviewer import render_document, get_document_renderer
12

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'FreeCAD'
"

but the module freecad (not FreeCAD) has been installed via Conda : "conda install FreeCAD" and the package is "freecad-0.18.3".

+1, I can't figure out the syntax here.

I continued messing with this, and it seems that the conda freecad is a bit different from the homebrew FreeCAD. I wound up uninstalling conda's freecad and just used the /Applications/FreeCAD.app (which I had installed via brew install freecad), and it worked ok for me.
