SofaPython3 - Installation on Windows 11 - Module not found error

[TGeissenb]

Hello,

I'm struggling to install the SofaPython3 plugin. If I open the GUI and navigate to "Edit->Plugin Manager->Add->"...\SOFA\v23.12.00\plugins\SofaPython3\bin\SofaPython3.dll", I get the following error:

I also tried to launch SOFA from Pycharm, but I get a similar error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\tobias\PycharmProjects\SoFa_Simulation\test.py", line 2, in
import Sofa
File "C:\Users\tobias\SOFA\v23.12.00\plugins\SofaPython3\lib\python3\site-packages\Sofa_init_.py", line 140, in
import Sofa.Helper
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'Sofa.Helper'

I downloaded the SOFA v23.12.00 exe installer for Windows and followed the installation instructions (https://sofapython3.readthedocs.io/en/latest/content/Installation.html#setup-your-environment):
SOFA_ROOT=C:\Users\tobias\SOFA\v23.12.00
SOFAPYTHON3_ROOT=C:\Users\tobias\SOFA\v23.12.00\plugins\SofaPython3
PYTHON_ROOT=C:\Users\tobias\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38
PYTHONPATH=C:\Users\tobias\SOFA\v23.12.00\plugins\SofaPython3\lib\python3\site-packages
Path=...;C:\Users\tobias\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38;C:\Users\tobias\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\DLLs;C:\Users\tobias\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\Lib;C:\Users\tobias\SOFA\v23.12.00\bin

In the meantime, I tried using Python 3.12, 3.7 and now installed Python 3.8.10 as suggested in the installation manual.
Can you please help me resolve this issue with SofaPython3?

Thanks!
Best, Tobias

Hello, this is the 23.12 release and I see that you are using python3.8. Actualy, those binaries where compiled using python3.10. You should install it and modify your Pathto point to this version.
