Error on ARM architecture Macs while importing

[siddharthfcb]

'/lib/python3.10/site-packages/openseespymac/opensees.so' (no such file), '/lib/python3.10/site-packages/openseespymac/opensees.so' (mach-o file, but is an incompatible architecture (have 'x86_64', need 'arm64'))

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

RuntimeError: Failed to import openseespy on Mac.

I think I am working on Anaconda/Jupyter for M1/M2 Macs and that might be the reason. Worked fine on intel Mac versions.

Installing with Anaconda installer older that 2022.10 supported for intel architecture helps prevent this problem. However need to run through rosetta.

OpenSeesPy is not running on M1/M2.

Hi @zhuminjie,

So what does the procedure detailed in this Opensees community post do?

[cedavidyang]

Hi @zhuminjie, is there any update on the M1/M2 compatibility of OpenseesPy? Also, @serkanhasanoglu, how did you make it work with the conda environment? I tried conda install openseespy, but conda can't find openseespy. Although I can pip install openseespy, I can't import it with import openseespy.opensees as ops. I got RuntimeError: Failed to import openseespy on Mac.

Hey cedavidyang, have you found a solution? I am also having the same issue when I try to use opensees.so that I compiled after adding a new material. But when I use pip install openseespy and import it to the script it works on python@3.8.
