Running Python Examples - ModuleNotFound

Mech-Eye SDK Development
1

I was having a look at the MecheEye SDK for Python i.e. its examples: GitHub - MechMindRobotics/mecheye_python_samples: Python samples for Mech-Eye camera.

After installing the Python Module via

pip install MechEyeAPI

and downloading the github repo mecheye_python_samples I tried to run area_scan_3d_camera/basic/capture_2d_image.py but get the error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'mecheye'. Looking at the code

from mecheye.shared import *
from mecheye.area_scan_3d_camera import *
from mecheye.area_scan_3d_camera_utils import find_and_connect

this comes to no surprise as no mecheye Python module was installed by the pip command but MechEye.

UPDATE:
Found the solution. The problem is that the installation depends on your Python interpreter version.
The github example is currently valid for Python interpreters 3.7-3.11. If you use an older Python interpreter version the MechEyeAPI is different!
