Unable to import VmbPy (Invalid VmbC Version)

[kentonkwoklo]

Hello! I am unable to access the python sdk unfortunately.

I have downloaded VimbaX via (https://www.alliedvision.com/en/products/software/vimba-x-sdk/) VimbaX_Setup-2023-4-macOS.dmg

and vmbpy-1.0.5-py3-none-any.whl via the releases site

python
>>> import vmbpy
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/Users/kenton/venvs/venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/vmbpy/__init__.py", line 119, in <module>

vmbpy.error.VmbSystemError: Invalid VmbC Version: Expected: 1.0.6, Found:1.0.5

Thank you for your help.

Hi, there shoud be a vmbpy version that is part of the MacOS release. The current vmbpy API has been released with the new Windows and Linux APIs, that also updated the Python API. So the newest Python API needs a newer version of the VmbC binding than is available with the MacOS release.

Solution is to use release 1.0.4. Thank you.
