ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'psmove' (SWIG removed in psmoveAPI)

[Mattman842]

I have tried to install JoustMania to a new RasberyPi 4 b 8Gb. Running on the latest version of Pi OS that the Raspberry Pi Imager recommends. I have tried running the rerunning Setup.sh multiple times. Also, different SD cards all within the recommendations.

I have tried a whole ton of other things but I'm not confident with troubleshooting these, so they were most likely just shots in the dark.

The error I get when trying to run Joust.sh

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'psmove'

Just wondering if you've seen this error before and If I've just messed something up along the way.

Yes that either means that the psmove api didn't install correctly, or that python is having trouble finding psmove. There are some example scripts within the psmove folder that should run if everything works correctly. I currently don't have a computer so I can't test from scratch at the moment, but should be able to next week

Thanks for that. Example scripts weren't working I believe. I was going to try and install the psmoveapi from scratch separately then try to reinstall Joust but haven't had a chance yet. Thanks for the info, let me know how you go with your testing once you've had a chance.

I just went through this. Adding git checkout 8a1f8d035e9c82c5c134d848d9fbb4dd37a34b58 on the line after cd psmoveapi at line 60 of setup.sh fixes this by using a version of psmoveapi from October. A change they've made since then breaks the Raspberry Pi build.

Thanks for looking through this! I've made the change in the master branch and will look into what changed on the psmove side of things that caused the problems. Joustmania should install correctly now

From this commit here:
thp/psmoveapi@1c9210e
removed SWIG-based Python bindings
This will need to be updated for all files

This removes the SWIG based API, for the ctypes python3 api here:
thp/psmoveapi#338

This likely will take a rework of JoustMania in order to accommodate the new cpp based api (but it may be faster once this is done)

Swig and other dependencies can also be removed after this update:

default-jdk ant liblwjgl-java
mono-mcs
swig3.0 freeglut3-dev
