Apple Silicon / ARM Support?

[mikeckennedy]

Version of Dear PyGui

Version: 1.1.3
Operating System: macOS Monterey on Apple Silicon (M1 Max)

My Issue/Question

Cannot install dearpygui package with pip

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. On macOS Monterey on a M1 Max (probably any M1)
2. Try to install dearpygui: pip install dearpygui

Expected behavior

DearPyGUI is installed

Actual behavior

Error:

(venv) ➜  pip install dearpygui
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement dearpygui (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for dearpygui
(venv) ➜  python -V
Python 3.10.1

Thoughts

I think this is because there is an x64 Intel macOS wheel but not an ARM64 macos wheel.

Hi Mike, unfortunately you are correct. We do not have wheels for M1 yet as we haven’t been able to find a CI host with M1 runners. I imagine it will be some time before the runners are available. We plan on picking up an M1 Mac in the near future to build wheels manually (the same way we currently handle Raspberry Pi).

Some M1 users have built wheels locally using our build instructions here and changing the platform name however we haven’t been able to test personally on M1’s yet!

Got it. Feel free to close this if it makes sense. I have an M1 mini and the super maxed out MBP 16 M1 Max. For anything other than video or really parallel work, they are basically the same speed for what it's worth. I don't even use my maxed MBP day-to-day actually. Only when I'm out because the mini feels like basically the same machine and has lots of ports and setup in the office.

Looks like there are some $500 M1 minis here if that helps:

But without an M1, this is tricky. Thanks for the tip.

[hoffstadt]

I appreciate the link! Didn’t know about that.

I may just pick one up this weekend. The number of M1 users interested in DPG has continued to grow, so I think it would make sense.

[mikeckennedy]

You're welcome. 8 GB is a little tight but still works OK. Apple does seem committed to really moving to Apple Silicon. My experience is those platforms are almost magical. Love them. Anyway, I got DearPyGUI running on my M1 under Rosetta.

Hello, I tried to assemble the wheel according to the instructions but I get a lot of errors during the assembly. I installed all the dependencies, the only thing for me is not clear where to get the plat name. Can you help? I have a macbook pro m1

[hoffstadt]

@mxidentic I believe it should be: python3 -m setup bdist_wheel --plat-name macosx-11.0-arm64 --dist-dir dist. Updating the wiki accordingly. Let me know if it works.

I ordered an M1 in December and it should finally arrive this friday. So we should have some M1 wheels prebuild soon!

[mxidentic]

@hoffstadt this is stupid but the wheel with the given plat name is not installed on my mac but if I use this plat name: macosx-10.9-x86_64 then it is installed and even somehow works but there are problems with viewport rendering

When assembling, a million errors also appear, in general, we are waiting for the wheels from you!

Running pip install git+https://github.com/hoffstadt/DearPyGui@v1.3 on Apple Silicon produces:

Successfully built dearpygui

However, import dearpygui in python results in:

Update after the wheel was uploaded and I saw the same issue. I put the test code in a file named dearpygui.py. This error was the result of the script I was running having the same name as the module. Oops.

[hoffstadt]

Actually just got an update on the M1 arrival… TOMORROW. So we should have wheels up this weekend!

[raymond-devries]

Just listened to the Talk Python to Me podcast about this project. Super sweet you'll have the wheels soon. Very excited to try it out.

[hoffstadt]

Yep! Here it is running on my new M1. Hoping to get the a wheel or 2 up by Sunday.

Love it!

[hoffstadt]

We've added 2 wheels for Apple Silicon. Python 3.8 & Python 3.9. We will continue to add more once we've automated the process a bit. We are having to manually build the wheels at the moment.

Also note, GLFW (the windowing library we use for Mac/Linux) will possibly show an error:

Glfw Error 65544: Cocoa: Failed to find service port for display

This is being address (because we are in the process of removing GLFW altogether).

What is the current status on this, currently it is not working on:

OS: macOS 12.4
Python: 3.8.9
Architecture: arm64
DearPyGUI: 1.6.3

pip3 install dearpygui does not work, I had to build manually to get it working.

After successful installation I get the following error when I try to import the module:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'dearpygui._dearpygui'

Can you check with 1.7? We removed freetype from the macOS builds.

[blezzbeats]

Thank you so much! It works, but freezes and crashes the kernel when you close the window

@blezzbeats, I can't seem to reproduce it. Any details on your machine?

I'm trying to build v0.6.415 of dearpygui for M2 silicon (ventura 13.3) but I haven't been able to with the above instructions. I'm able to generate a wheel but there doesnt seem to be any scripts or binaries associated with it when I install. Only the .dist-info gets installed.

I know this may be a stretch but any suggestions? The build process was different back then.

Thanks

[mef51]

If anyone else needs it: this is how I built v0.6.415 on the macbook air M2 silicon with python 3.11, and macos ventura 13.3.

After the wiki instructions (ie. with the repo cloned recursively and cmake and xcode installed) and python installed via brew run python3-config --include to see where your python headers are. For me this was /opt/homebrew/opt/python@3.11/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.11/include/python3.11

I added this path to DearPyGui/cmake/dpg_sources.cmake under the MARVEL_INCLUDE_DIR variable.
In mac_runner.cmake in the same directory I had to add a corresponding branch for my python version (3.11)

setup.py didn't have the cmake commands in 0.6.415 but they are in appveyor.yml so I followed those.
From the root of the repo, I did:

mkdir cmake-build-release
cd cmake-build-release
cmake .. -DMVDIST_ONLE=True -DMVPY_VERSION=3.11 -DMVDPG_VERSION=0.6.415
cd ..
cmake --build cmake-build-release --config Release

If no errors you can then do

cd Distribution
python BuildPythonWheel.py ../cmake-build-release/DearPyGui/core.so 0.6.415
python -m setup bdist_wheel --plat-name macosx-11.0-arm64 --dist-dir dist
pip install --user dist/dearpygui-0.6.415-cp311-cp311-macosx_11_0_arm64.whl

et voila. Note that using --plat-name macosx-13.3-arm64 didn't work
