ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'carla'

OS: Windwos 10 18865
Carla: 0.9.4

Hi,

I encountered the error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'carla' when trying to execute the command python spawn_npc.py -n 80 as suggested by the document. After a little research, I become aware that I'll need to easy_install the .egg file in PythonAPI folder. However, it has a dependencies that Processing dependencies for carla==0.9.4 which made it fail again. What shall I do next?

[ZhiyuanChen]

I double checked, it seems that I'm using Python 3.6 as CNTK does not support 3.7 yet. However, carla does not support 3.6?

You need to import the carla, try to make sure the script include the

import glob
import os
import sys
try:
    sys.path.append(glob.glob('../carla/dist/carla-*%d.%d-%s.egg' % (
        sys.version_info.major,
        sys.version_info.minor,
        'win-amd64' if os.name == 'nt' else 'linux-x86_64'))[0])
except IndexError:
    pass
import carla

part. and make sure the '../carla/dist/carla-*%d.%d-%s.egg' path right .
hope this will help you.

In Ubuntu Bionic (18.04) and python 3.6 os.name reports as 'posix'
can we add posix as additional condition to be compatible with the latest version ?

Hey Guys
I add this comment because I spent too much time on this issue .I try to change the sys.path.append and experiment a couple of other things...
At the this end , I realize that there are 2 eggs ( zip files in carla/dist ) one for python 2.7 and one for python 3.5 and therefore you have to run the python client script with one of these distributions. Then all is fine .... :) .
I am pretty sure it is somewhere written in the doc ....

[srikanth-narayanan]

@remitoudic - Thanks for the answer. I realized the same. I unzipped the distribution (based on my python version) I needed and placed in the my path.

I had a similar issue in a conda enviroment. This was my solution:

• locate .egg-files in Carla/PythonAPI/carla/dist/
• change/install python version in conda enviroment which fits closest to an .egg-file (for me carla-0.9.6-py3.5-linux-x86_64.egg -> 3.5)
• delete all other .egg-files (just for tidiness)
• extract your .egg-file, e.g. carla-0.9.6-py3.5-linux-x86_64
• create setup.py inside the folder (carla-0.9.6-py3.5-linux-x86_64) with the following content:

from distutils.core import setup
setup(name='carla',
      version='0.9.6', #doesn't matter I guess
      py_modules=['carla'],
      )

• then you can install the carla-python-package via pip:
  pip install -e ~/Carla/PythonAPI/carla/dist/carla-0.9.6-py3.5-linux-x86_64

That solved it for me. I don't even need the egg-path-appending-stuff, which is happening at the beginning of every python-script, just import carla.

You either need to write your script dirercty where you extracted carla. In that case the part sys.path.append(glob.glob('../carla/dist/carla-*%d.%d-%s.egg'... will detect carla path in your environment variables.

Or change the path in sys.path.append(glob.glob('../carla/dist/carla-*%d.%d-%s.egg'... to directrly point to where you extracted carla.

A cleaner way would be to copy '../carla/dist/carla-*%d.%d-%s.egg' in your python site pachkages, then you can import it normally anywhere you are developing your script.

He uses:
py -3.7 python spawn_npc.py -n 80

        'win-amd64' if os.name == 'nt' else 'linux-x86_64'))[0])
except IndexError:
    pass
import carla

part. and make sure the '../carla/dist/carla-*%d.%d-%s.egg' path right .
hope this will help you.

Thankyou! seems to import cleanly. Now to add to path..

In my case, carla installation worked in the following steps. I used Ubuntu 20.04, and Carla v0.9.13 in its stand alone mode.

• Prepare Python version 3.7.xx (I used 3.7.10)
• Upgrade pip (I used pip 22.3.1)
• $ cd PythonAPI/carla/dist/
• $ pip install carla-0.9.13-cp37-cp37m-manylinux_2_27_x86_64.whl

Update as of Feb 18th 2023.

You can directly execute pip install carla==<the version number> to get the python module released on the carla pypi.
