@beark007, it appears like you may have a python environment issue. The smarts.sstudio.types is somehow overriding the standard python types module.

Would you happen to somehow have added <SMARTS_REPO>/smarts/sstudio to your PYTHONPATH or PATH environment variables?

If you try the python interpreter, does <SMARTS_REPO>/smarts/sstudio somehow show up in sys.path before /usr/lib/python3.8?

python
>>> import sys
>>> sys.path
>>> [os.path.abspath(p) for p in sys.path]
# example output
['/home/dev/repo/SMARTS', '/home/dev/anaconda3/lib/python39.zip', '/home/dev/anaconda3/lib/python3.9', '/home/dev/anaconda3/lib/python3.9/lib-dynload', '/home/dev/repo/SMARTS/.venv/lib/python3.9/site-packages', '/home/dev/repo/SMARTS/__editable__.smarts-1.4.0.finder.__path_hook__']

After installing the environment under a new python, it still fails to build the scenario.

I have never seen this error before and have not yet been able to reproduce the error for that commit. The system path is not suggesting anything. I am going to attempt to emulate the error and see if I can force the correct import order.

Many thanks!

It appears like it may be related to Pycharm debug:

https://stackoverflow.com/a/68985644

What I might be able to do here is forcefully reload the module if types is smarts.sstudio.types when resolving through smarts.__init__.py. This may not be possible because types is a core module...

I think I am going to have to deprecate and rename smarts/sstudio/types.py.

@beark007 I have merged in a fix that should resolve the issue.
