Python script ImportError: No module named 'linuxcnc'

Hi everybody. First post. I am currently learning python and I am currently playing around with Linuxcnc. I installed it on a Raspberry pi 3 just to get familiar with it as I will be using it more in the near future. I am writing a python script, but am having this error when I try to run it or any other linuxcnc script.
ImportError: No module named 'linuxcnc'

I used the shell script from github.com/jefffall/build-linuxcnc-on-raspberry-pi-or-ubuntu for my installation.

As I said, I am still learning python, and after hours of googling, I have come up with nothing..

Thanks in advance for your help.

Steve.

did you start linuxcnc for a first time alredy on the pi
then it shoudt also be importable

I did. I have tried to run the script with linuxcnc running and not..

Hi all,

I am a new user working on a project to build mtconnect adpater for a Tormach CNC machine. I am trying to import linux cnc but I am also getting the same error 'ImportError: No module named 'linuxcnc''. While I am running the UI of the machine, I can see that the internal codes are using import linuxcnc, and the machine is working fine. But still i am unable to import it in command shell.

It would be really great if someone can help towards this concern.

Hi,

I tried these steps and it worked:
> git clone git://github.com/linuxcnc/linuxcnc.git linuxcnc-dev
> cd linuxcnc-dev/src
> ./autogen.sh
> ./configure --with-realtime=uspace
> make
> sudo make setuid
> source ../scripts/rip-environment
> runtests

After the test is done successfully, just try :
->source ../scripts/rip-environment
->python
->import linuxcnc

It should work!

Sweet! I will give that a try and update this evening..
