Import numpy error while opening .py file

[fgmelo14]

Hello!
I am using the SOFA_v24.06.00_MacOS binaries with python3.10

I am trying to get started using the SofaPython3 plugin but I am facing some errors. I run RunSofa and I get no problem; SofaPython3 loads correctly.

As a simple test, when I load into runSofa a simple python script with only "import numpy" I get the following error:

[DEPRECATED] [SofaPython3::SceneLoader] Unable to completely load the scene from file '/Users/digitalsurgerylab/Downloads/test.py'.  
Python exception:   
  ImportError: Error importing numpy: you should not try to import numpy from
        its source directory; please exit the numpy source tree, and relaunch
        your python interpreter from there.

Any help fixing this would be greatly appreciated!

This seems to be an issue with Apple Silicon CPUs.

To resolve this issue, I opted to enforce the installation of the x86_64 architecture when installing numpy and scipy using pip. This ensured that the modules consistently imported the correct x86_64 architecture instead of ARM.

arch -x86_64 pip install numpy==1.26.0 scipy

Thank you AlexandreLaborde, it works!
