I am trying to use the Open Motion Planning Library in a conda environment.

I think that this issue is caused by the conda virtual environment not playing nicely with my setup somehow, but I have no idea what is causing this. conda list shows ompl as installed, but the python program is still failing to find the module.

First I created and activated a new conda environment:

conda create -n rcare_ompl python=3.8

conda activate rcare_ompl

I installed the ompl library:

conda install conda-forge::ompl

I installed the requirements and dependencies for the program I am using:

pip install -r requirements.txt

which contains:

cloudpickle==2.2.1
grpcio==1.51.1
gymnasium==0.29.1
numpy==1.24.2
open3d==0.16.0
opencv-contrib-python==4.5.4.60
opencv-python==4.5.4.60
pandas==1.5.3
Pillow==9.4.0
protobuf==3.19.0
pyaml==21.10.1
pybullet==3.2.5

then I ran:

pip install -e .

pip install torch

Now, when I try running a file called pg.py, I get the error below:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "pg.py", line 6, in <module>
    from env import MyRCareWorldEnv
  File "/home/july/rcareworld_workspace/limbrepo-bandit/env.py", line 4, in <module>
    from ompl import base as ob
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'ompl'

We expect ompl to succesfully import rather than a ModuleNotFoundError
