ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'mvnc'

Hello, I recently received the NCS, I installed it on Ubuntu 16.04LTS and Raspberry Pi 3B Stretch

For the Ubuntu 16.04 example build, I got the following error when compiling GoogleNet, I disabled virtual environment in this example, but I get the same error with the virtual environment:

GoogLeNet$ make compile making prereqs (cd ../../data/ilsvrc12; make) make[1]: Entering directory '/arch_lnx/aws/arch/install/mvdus/ncsdk/examples/data/ilsvrc12' make[1]: Leaving directory '/arch_lnx/aws/arch/install/mvdus/ncsdk/examples/data/ilsvrc12' making prototxt Prototxt file already exists making caffemodel caffemodel file already exists making compile mvNCCompile -w bvlc_googlenet.caffemodel -s 12 deploy.prototxt Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/bin/mvNCCompile", line 25, in <module> from Models.Blob import * File "/usr/local/bin/ncsdk/Models/Blob.py", line 19, in <module> from Controllers.MiscIO import * File "/usr/local/bin/ncsdk/Controllers/MiscIO.py", line 34, in <module> from mvnc import mvncapi ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'mvnc' Makefile:80: recipe for target 'compile' failed make: *** [compile] Error 1

I checked my path to make sure movidius is included and it is

GoogLeNet$ echo $PYTHONPATH /usr/local/lib/python3.5/site-packages/::/opt/movidius/caffe/python:/opt/movidius/caffe/python:/opt/movidius/mvnc/python

Then I tried this on the Raspberry Pi 3B-Stretch

This time it works when virtual environment is not used but I got the mvnc not found error with the virtual environment.

Without virtual environment the graph builds:

The python path for the working example is:

pi@pi3:~/aws/arch/install_pi/ncsdk/examples/caffe/GoogLeNet$ echo $PYTHONPATH :/opt/movidius/caffe/python:/opt/movidius/mvnc/python:/opt/movidius/caffe/python:/opt/movidius/mvnc/python:/opt/movidius/caffe/python:/opt/movidius/mvnc/python

With the virtual environment the example can't find the mvnc:

(cv3.3_py3.5) pi@pi3:~/aws/arch/install_pi/ncsdk/examples/caffe/GoogLeNet$ make compile making prereqs (cd ../../data/ilsvrc12; make) make[1]: Entering directory '/home/pi/aws/arch/install_pi/ncsdk/examples/data/ilsvrc12' make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/pi/aws/arch/install_pi/ncsdk/examples/data/ilsvrc12' making prototxt Prototxt file already exists making caffemodel caffemodel file already exists making compile mvNCCompile -w bvlc_googlenet.caffemodel -s 12 deploy.prototxt Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/bin/mvNCCompile", line 25, in <module> from Models.Blob import * File "/usr/local/bin/ncsdk/Models/Blob.py", line 19, in <module> from Controllers.MiscIO import * File "/usr/local/bin/ncsdk/Controllers/MiscIO.py", line 34, in <module> from mvnc import mvncapi ImportError: No module named 'mvnc' Makefile:80: recipe for target 'compile' failed make: *** [compile] Error 1

Path is also set correctly here:

(cv3.3_py3.5) pi@pi3:~/aws/arch/install_pi/ncsdk/examples/caffe/GoogLeNet$ echo $PYTHONPATH :/opt/movidius/caffe/python:/opt/movidius/mvnc/python:/opt/movidius/caffe/python:/opt/movidius/mvnc/python:/opt/movidius/caffe/python:/opt/movidius/mvnc/python:/opt/movidius/caffe/python:/opt/movidius/mvnc/python

My questions are:

• Is there an extra step to setup the .so for mvnc when I set up a virtual environment?
• For the ubuntu example, why mvnc cannot be found even when the path is set?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you

I believe I solve the can't find mvnc for virtual environment issue, but there is still something wrong

for the virtual environment additional link to mvnc should be added as follows:

cd /home/pi/.virtualenvs/cv3.3_py3.5/lib/python3.5/site-packages ln -s /usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/mvnc . ln -s /usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/graphviz . pip3 install protobuf pyyaml

now the "can't find mvnc module" error goes away.

but I'm still getting the following error,

(cv3.3_py3.5) pi@pi3:~/aws/arch/install/mvdus/ncsdk/examples/caffe/GoogLeNet$ make compile making prereqs (cd ../../data/ilsvrc12; make) make[1]: Entering directory '/media/pi/PEGASUS/pi3/aws/arch/install/mvdus/ncsdk/examples/data/ilsvrc12' make[1]: Leaving directory '/media/pi/PEGASUS/pi3/aws/arch/install/mvdus/ncsdk/examples/data/ilsvrc12' making prototxt Prototxt file already exists making caffemodel caffemodel file already exists making compile mvNCCompile -w bvlc_googlenet.caffemodel -s 12 deploy.prototxt mvNCCompile v02.00, Copyright @ Movidius Ltd 2016 Caffe Import Error

what's a good way of debugging "mvNCCompile"?

@jfshi, regarding virtual machine setup - please refer our virtual machine installation guide @ https://movidius.github.io/ncsdk/VirtualMachineConfig.html

The Caffe Import Error is usually because of PYTHONPATH issues, please refer the following posts for pointers on this issue.

mvNCCompile source code is available @ /opt/movidius/NCSDK/ncsdk-x86_64/tk and /opt/movidius/NCSDK/ncsdk-armv71/tk, you can use that to further debug mvNCCompile if you choose to do so.

@AshwinVijayakumar The OP said about virtualenv not virtual machine. And I'm having same issue as the OP, difficulty of using NCS from virtualenv / pyenv

Further investigation shows problem with the previous make compile, similar to https://ncsforum.movidius.com/discussion/323/caffe-import-error-with-fresh-installed-sdk-help-ncsdk-1-09-00-04-x86-64-ubuntu-16-04#latest but caused by protobuf

because the make process moves past the error, the compile error was missed. A suggestion is to provide the last message in the make output to let the user know if there are errors or not.

I tried rebuilding protobuf https://github.com/google/protobuf/blob/master/src/README.md

but this didn't work

my gcc version is gcc (Ubuntu 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.5) 5.4.0 20160609

found some similar problem posts online but no good solutions.

Anyone has a solution to this?

I got the errors when running the commands just like "python image-classifier.py" in /ncappzoo/apps/image-classifier

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "image-classifier.py", line 10, in import mvnc.mvncapi as mvncImportError: No module named mvnc.mvncapi

And I've checked the PYTHONPATH : /opt/movidius/caffe/python:/opt/movidius/mvnc/python::/opt/movidius/caffe/python

I wish I could offer help, but for now I'm just going to chime in with confirmation that I saw the same issue. For what it's worth to the folks at Intel who are following this, I ran into these same errors when attempting to use the Virtualenv setup. The configuration created by the NCSDK installer is very broken. I noticed it did not edit the PYTHONPATH in _.bashrc_. It cannot find Caffe while in the Virtualenv. The more I fought to try to provide the Virtualenv with a path to the broken imports, the more broken imports it would uncover.

When I attempted the Virtualenv install I was using Ubilinux on a new Up Board. I got so fed up with the process that I replaced Ubilinux with Ubuntu 16.04 (completely fresh install) and re-installed the NCSDK directly (_not_ using Virtualenv!). The PYTHONPATH was edited properly in _.bashrc_ and the broken import chains went away. I can't say what effect Ubilinux/Ubuntu had on the errors I was seeing but I personally suspect a broken Virtualenv configuration was the culprit.

Folks at Intel, this was the first of two major breaks in your installation that I have found so far (see https://ncsforum.movidius.com/discussion/876/mvnccompile-fails-illegal-instruction).
