Dartpy importing Issue on virtualenv

[shbang91]

Bug Report

Please answer the following questions for yourself before reporting a bug.

• [x] I checked the documentation and the forum but found no answer.
• [x] I checked to make sure that this issue has not already been filed.

Environment

Select the following information.

• DART version: dartpy
• OS name and version name(or number): macOS Catalina
• Compiler : Clang 11.0
• I created a virtual environment using pip3 install virtualenv and it uses my system python 3.7.

Current Behavior

What is the current behavior? After pip3 install dartpy, I can find a dartpy.so in the lib directory in my virtual environment. However, when I try importing dartpy in python, e.g., import dartpy, it spits out the segmentation fault error.

Steps to Reproduce

Please provide detailed steps for reproducing the issue.

1. Create a virtual environment using pip3 install virtualenv
2. Install dartpy by using pip3 install dartpy
3. Using python, import dartpy
4. You'll get the segmentation fault on your screen

Quick check: Have you installed all the dependencies? http://dartsim.github.io/install_dartpy_on_macos.html#install-dartpy-using-pip3

[shbang91]

Yeah, I double-checked all the dependencies, but it still shows segmentation fault when importing dartpy library.

Hm, I wasn't able to reproduce the segfault on my macOS (Catalina). Here is what I see when installing dartpy:

Do you see any error message when it segfaults?

[shbang91]

It just shows segmentation fault: 11 as below:

[pypnc] seunghyeonbang ~ python

Segmentation fault: 11

So, I was trying to uninstall dartpy by doing pip3 uninstall dartpy, but it didn't completely remove dartpy.so, which leads to incorrect reinstalling as you mentioned on: https://dartsim.github.io/install_dartpy_on_macos.html. Do you have any suggestion?

[jslee02]

What do you see if you run Python with -v option and try to import dartpy?:

[pypnc]seunghyeonbang ~ python -v
>>> import dartpy

To uninstall, you could safely remove dartpy.so manually (by running sudo rm <path_to_dartpy.so>/dartpyso as it's the only file installed (without changing any other system configurations).

[shbang91]

I manually removed dartpy.so in the lib directory and tried to reinstall dartpy by doing pip3 install dartpy. But, I don't see dartpy.so in the lib directory so I cannot import dartpy right now as you suggested. Here is the result: [pypnc] seunghyeonbang ~ pip3 install dartpy Requirement already satisfied: dartpy in ./.venv/pypnc/lib/python3.7/site-packages (0.0.1.post11)
