TypeError when running python -c 'import microstructpy' command

[Quan711]

Howdy,

I have pip installed microstructpy with no error. But when running the python -c 'import microstructpy' command, I got an TypeError like this:

C:\Users\quanz>python -c "import microstructpy" Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in File "C:\Users\quanz\AppData\Local\Packages\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.10_qbz5n2kfra8p0\LocalCache\local-packages\Python310\site-packages\microstructpy__init.py", line 1, in import microstructpy.cli File "C:\Users\quanz\AppData\Local\Packages\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.10_qbz5n2kfra8p0\LocalCache\local-packages\Python310\site-packages\microstructpy\cli.py", line 31, in from microstructpy.meshing import PolyMesh File "C:\Users\quanz\AppData\Local\Packages\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.10_qbz5n2kfra8p0\LocalCache\local-packages\Python310\site-packages\microstructpy\meshing__init.py", line 2, in from microstructpy.meshing.trimesh import RasterMesh File "C:\Users\quanz\AppData\Local\Packages\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.10_qbz5n2kfra8p0\LocalCache\local-packages\Python310\site-packages\microstructpy\meshing\trimesh.py", line 19, in import pygmsh as pg File "C:\Users\quanz\AppData\Local\Packages\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.10_qbz5n2kfra8p0\LocalCache\local-packages\Python310\site-packages\pygmsh\init__.py", line 1, in from . import geo, occ File "C:\Users\quanz\AppData\Local\Packages\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.10_qbz5n2kfra8p0\LocalCache\local-packages\Python310\site-packages\pygmsh\geo\init.py", line 1, in from .geometry import Geometry File "C:\Users\quanz\AppData\Local\Packages\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.10_qbz5n2kfra8p0\LocalCache\local-packages\Python310\site-packages\pygmsh\geo\geometry.py", line 5, in import gmsh File "C:\Users\quanz\AppData\Local\Packages\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.10_qbz5n2kfra8p0\LocalCache\local-packages\Python310\site-packages\gmsh.py", line 53, in lib = CDLL(libpath) File "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.10_3.10.752.0_x64qbz5n2kfra8p0\lib\ctypes__init.py", line 364, in init__ if '/' in name or '\' in name: TypeError: argument of type 'NoneType' is not iterable

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Hi Quan,

I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble getting started with MicroStructPy. I haven't verified it for myself on Python 3.10. Would it be possible to install running an earlier version, such as 3.7 or 3.8? Let me know if that works for you.

Best, Kip

Hi Kip,

Thanks for your kind reply. I tried with Jupyter Notebook and it works for me now. I will try to install running an earlier version later this week and let you know if it works.

Best, Quan
