ImportError: No module named 'Leap'

[pallinia]

Hello everyone,

I just started with LEAP and I am trying to run the Sample.py.
I got immediately an error:

ImportError: No module named 'Leap'

This is my code:

import os, sys, inspect, _thread, time
src_dir = os.path.dirname(inspect.getfile(inspect.currentframe()))
arch_dir = '../lib/x86'
sys.path.insert(0, os.path.abspath(os.path.join(src_dir, arch_dir)))

import Leap

Obviously, the error is on the last line when I try to import Leap.
Can anyone help me, please?
Thank you.

src_dir = os.path.dirname(inspect.getfile(inspect.currentframe()))
arch_dir = '../lib/x86'
sys.path.insert(0, os.path.abspath(os.path.join(src_dir, arch_dir)))

These lines are setting the path to the Leap Python files, but assume that you are running this directly from the samples folder of the SDK.

For more detailed information you can refer to our documentation: https://developer.leapmotion.com/documentation/python/devguide/Project_Setup.html

It was exactly the information I missed.
Thank you

I have version 2.3.1 of the SDK LeapMotion and Python 2.7.13 installed (under Windows 10, 64bit), but when I try to run the sample Python program provided with the SDK (Sample.py), I get the following error:

C:\Apps\Leap\LeapSDK\samples>python Sample.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "Sample.py", line 16, in
import Leap
ImportError: No module named Leap


What have I not done, or done wrong? How do I tell Python where to find "Leap"?

I have already tried with the following method :

import os, sys, inspect, time

src_dir = os.path.dirname(inspect.getfile(inspect.currentframe()))

arch_dir = '../lib/x64' if sys.maxsize > 2**32 else '../lib/x86'

sys.path.insert(0, os.path.abspath(os.path.join(src_dir, arch_dir)))
sys.path.append("C:[...]\LeapDeveloper\LeapSDK\lib\")
sys.path.append("C:[...]\LeapDeveloper\LeapSDK\lib\x86")

import Leap
from Leap import CircleGesture, KeyTapGesture, ScreenTapGesture,SwipeGesture

but I still have the same error ?

Thanks.

The possibilities are:

• You are trying to load a 64-bit version of the library from a 32-bit
  version of Python, or vice-versa.
• The correct module and library files are not located on any of the paths you set
• The strings you are adding to sys.path are malformed in some way

src_dir = os.path.dirname(inspect.getfile(inspect.currentframe()))
arch_dir = '../lib/x64' if sys.maxsize > 2**32 else '../lib/x86'
sys.path.insert(0, os.path.abspath(os.path.join(src_dir, arch_dir)))

This assumes that Leap.py is also in both 'lib/x86' and 'lib/x64' -- which it is not in the SDK. Presumably you got those lines from our documentation, which describes how to add the files to you project -- not how to access them where they sit in the SDK.

sys.path.append("C:[...]\LeapDeveloper\LeapSDK\lib\")
sys.path.append("C:[...]\LeapDeveloper\LeapSDK\lib\x86")

These look correct in theory (except for [...]), but make sure you are following the Python conventions for path strings.

The easiest thing to do is to copy Leap.py and the correct versions of LeapPython.pyd, and Leap.dll to the same folder as your script.

Thanks for your reply, I made the last solution and put everything in one folder, and without changing anything in my code, it worked.

Again thank you for your advice.

I want these files pleas ( Leap.py and the correct versions of LeapPython.pyd, and Leap.dll )
it did not exist in SDK leap motion
