Pip install drake fails on fresh Ubuntu 24.04 Python Virtual Environment.

[AlexandreAmice]

What happened?

When I launch a fresh python virtual environment and install Drake from pip I get the following error (note what I import does not matter).

from pydrake.all import HPolyhedron
AttributeError: module 'drake' has no attribute 'experimental_lcmt_deformable_tri'

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

ImportError: initialization failed

Perhaps one of our dependencies got updated and broke something?

Most likely the problem is that you have a (wrong) drake directory on your PYTHONPATH somewhere. Remember that . is on the PYTHONPATH by default, so your cwd matters when launching the interpreter.

You can debug with something like import drake; print(drake.__file__);.
