Hi, I have been trying install python bindings for openbabel 2.4.1 on Ubunut16.04 with python 3.5.2 (installed via Anaconda) but haven't been able to get it working. Here's what I have tried so far:
Based on David Hall's post in this thread: $ git clone https://github.com/openbabel/openbabel.git $ cd openbabel $ mkdir build $ cd build $ cmake .. -DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE=/usr/bin/python3 -DPYTHON_BINDINGS=ON -DRUN_SWIG=ON $ grep '^PYTHON' CMakeCache.txt And then followed the steps given on openbabel docs (https://open-babel.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Installation/install.html#compile-bindings) $ cmake ../openbabel-2.3.2 -DPYTHON_BINDINGS=ON $ make # make install $ export PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib:$PYTHONPATH All commands seemed to run smoothly (python3-dev is installed). But when I use python shell through terminal: sgupta78@sgupta78:~$ python imPython 3.5.2 |Anaconda 4.1.1 (64-bit)| (default, Jul 2 2016, 17:53:06) [GCC 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-1)] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import openbabel >>> mol = openbabel.OBMol() Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> AttributeError: module 'openbabel' has no attribute 'OBMol' import openbabel was successful *but none of the functions in openbabel module are being recognized*. As shown above it's raising AttributeError. Is there something that I missed during installation steps shown above? Secondly, when I ran a simple script [just to test OBMol() ] stored in a sub-folder of home directory, *even the import openbabel failed*. This possibly means that the environment variables haven't been set. I assumed that cmake and export steps above possibly take care of it. Any help would be appreciated.
