Found no camera #18

Hi, i want tio use the camera for a microscope and found no other application which has an gui. so i invest some time to get this one here running. So far i managed to install tkinter and get rid of that message. Now i am stuck at the error:

pi@octopi:~/PiCameraApp-master/Source $ /usr/bin/python3 PiCameraApp.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/pi/PiCameraApp-master/Source/AnnotationOverlay.py", line 61, in import picamera ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'picamera'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "PiCameraApp.py", line 38, in from AnnotationOverlay import * File "/home/pi/PiCameraApp-master/Source/AnnotationOverlay.py", line 65, in raise ImportError("You do not seem to have picamera installed") ImportError: You do not seem to have picamera installed

I try to use it with python3 on a raspi 4 with mostly new software installed. i am also running octoprint. i can run qtv4l2 and take videos with the cam so i can assure it is properbly connected and working. i have to stop my webcamd service to get it running and i am not sure, if picam needs webcamd running or not. But it did not make any difference regarding this stated error. may i be allowed one sidenote. I also investet 2hours to get a desktop icon installed (ahhrg so much time)..i don know, if this repository is still maintained, but if it is, i would like to share that with you. cu thomas

This is not related to the camera, but to the picamera module - it's explained on the readme: The python interface to the PiCamera hardware. See https://picamera.readthedocs.io/en/release-1.13/install.html
