Using oiio in python on a new mac #3445

If you are using the macOS installed python then it doesn’t know where your
homebrew python libraries are. You need to add them to your PYTHONPATH.
You should add them to a .zshrc (macOS defaults to zsh) or whatever shell
you changed it to use.

When I try to "import OpenImageIO" in python, though, I get "module not
found". Google searches about this issue seem to turn up results for
pre-Monterey installs of homebrew, or mention symlinking (which I would
like to avoid; this will only break later and confuse me I worry). What's
the best practice for managing this currently?
Thank you!

Thanks; I more or less understand this. I'm using pyenv to manage my python versions; it seems like getting pythonpath to follow along with pyenv to synchronize versions might be more complicated than I anticipated (and I understand this is outside the scope of this particular repo). I was hoping this might be an easy fix. |

You only need to append to the $PYTHONPATH, not overwrite it. Pyenv is
unrelated to this as it is just updating the $PATH env variable.

Ok; thank you. I can see this was installed when I did a 'brew install openimageio':
What is the mechanism that encouraged the installer to install this for python 3.9? I assume it was homebrew itself. How should I get/manage versions compatible with other versions of python? Is this possible? I tried: to – I think – switch homebrew's python version to 3.7, then tried to re-install oiio:
but this did not introduce any new files into the path mentioned above. And, of course, switching to a python version other than 3.9 fails to find oiio. FWIW, though, to your previous recommendation, it indeed works; I have this in my .zshrc: and if I configure pyenv to use python 3.9, it seems to import OpenImageIO fine. |

It looks like homebrew is only setup for python 3.9.
https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/HEAD/Formula/openimageio.rb
You would have to submit a change to add additional python version support
as flags or add a variant based on other python versions. Macos currently
defaults to 3.9 which is why many formula in homebrew default to that.

brew unlink ***@***.***
brew link ***@***.***

FWIW, though, to your previous recommendation, it indeed works; I have
this in my .zshrc:
###############################################################################
# Set OpenImageIO
echo "\tSetting up OpenImageIO..."
export PYTHON_VERSION="3.9"
export PYTHONPATH="/opt/homebrew/Cellar/openimageio/2.3.16.0/lib/python${PYTHON_VERSION}/site-packages:$PYTHONPATH <http://2.3.16.0/lib/python$%7BPYTHON_VERSION%7D/site-packages:$PYTHONPATH>"
and if I configure pyenv to use python 3.9, it seems to import OpenImageIO
fine.

…or, presumably, then, build oiio myself.
Ok cool, this has all been very helpful and illuminating, thanks so very much for all your help. Even just understanding how I should set my expectations is quite useful.

Hi;
I've installed oiio on my macbook (M1 MAX) using Homewbrew; I can verify it's installed by successfully invoking oiiotool from my Terminal.
When I try to "import OpenImageIO" in python, though, I get "module not found". Google searches about this issue seem to turn up results for pre-Monterey installs of homebrew, or mention symlinking (which I would like to avoid; this will only break later and confuse me I worry). What's the best practice for managing this currently?
Thank you!
