Installing libcamera into a venv is actually quite tricky. There are some instructions on our camera forum, but I really wouldn't recommend trying that if you can avoid it. The easiest solution is to create your venv with --system-site-packages
and you will have all the packages you need automatically, without the need to install anything else.

i reinstall os and try your solution and finally it works. Thank you.
Please only report one bug per issue! Describe the bug After install Rasberry Pi OS updates, picamera2 now fails to initialize i also run :
source a-env/bin/activate sudo apt install libcamera-apps libcamera-dev python3-libcamera pip install numpy --upgrade pip install picamera2
To Reproduce import io import time import libcamera from picamera2 import Picamera2
picam2 = Picamera2() capture_config = picam2.create_still_configuration() picam2.configure(picam2.create_preview_configuration()) picam2.start()
time.sleep(1) data = io.BytesIO() picam2.capture_file(data, format='jpeg') print(data.getbuffer().nbytes)
time.sleep(1) data = io.BytesIO() picam2.switch_mode_and_capture_file(capture_config, data, format='jpeg') print(data.getbuffer().nbytes)
Expected behaviour run file a.py to test
Console Output, Screenshots $ python a.py
