ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'openvino'

[hochi__andre]

I have an import error where I can't import from openvino. I ran the installation correctly and ran the two files (demo_squeezenet_download_convert_run.bat and demo_security_barrier_camera.bat) that are required to check if the installation worked fine. But when trying to run classification_sample.py The import error comes up. 

I am running on Windows, python 3.6.5, and do not have a intel GPU.

Dear hochi, andre,

Did you run C:\Program Files (x86)\IntelSWTools\openvino_2019.1.148\bin\setupvars.bat first ? Also are you using the latest and greatest OpenVino release - 2019 R1.1 ? 

If you don't have an Intel integrated GPU, that's OK. classification_sample.py by default will run on a CPU.

Thanks,

Shubha

[hochi__andre]

Yes I have, I believe that file is supposed to set up the paths. When I run it a screen appears for .1 seconds then disappears.

[hochi__andre]

But I still have the import error.

[hochi__andre]

Also Yes I am running OpenVino 2019 R1.1

Dear hochi, andre,

So you are running Windows 10 right ? From a command shell (DOS) after you run setupvars.bat, please type echo %PYTHONPATH% . Please post the result here.

Thanks,

Shubha

Hi.

I have run: "C:\Program Files (x86)\IntelSWTools\openvino\bin\setupvars.bat".

And I got:

Python 3.6.4
ECHO is off.
PYTHONPATH=C:\Program Files (x86)\IntelSWTools\openvino\python\pythonprogram.or;C:\Program Files (x86)\IntelSWTools\openvino\python\pythonprogram.or
[setupvars.bat] OpenVINO environment initialized

But I still get: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'openvino', because of  from openvino.inference_engine import IENetwork, IEPlugin

"C:\Program Files (x86)\IntelSWTools\openvino\bin\setupvars.bat" have to be run from command prompt window each time as you open cmd.

then, after that, you can run 'python3 classification_sample.py' in this cmd window

Hi, have you solved the problem? Maybe the execution of setupvars.bat hadn't taken effect yet. Have you checked whether the environment variables had been all set? Try to run it again and log off then log in again then check your environment variables. if the same problem still occurs maybe you should check out this link and set the variables manually.

Hello everyone, 

OpenVino 2019R2 just got released yesterday. Please download it and give it a try !

Thanks,

Shubha

I've followed all the installation instructions for Ubuntu and it has this problem. setupvars are already set and working. What should I do now?

[Zorrilla_Cepeda__Pab]

I have this problem with ubuntu. setupvars.sh was executed so the problem comes from somewhere else.

Also, the "rich text" formatting options of this website to share these lines are terrible.

[Ba_Van__Nguyen]

Have you solved this error yet? How did you do it? I also have the same problem

[Zorrilla_Cepeda__Pab]

Not working. What am I missing?

Hi.

I have run: "C:\Program Files (x86)\IntelSWTools\openvino\bin\setupvars.bat".

And i got:

But I still get: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'openvino'.

I have tried on many versions but none of them solved the problem. Please help me

[mohamed__tamer]

if you are using visual studio code, open your project , go to cmd terminal and run the setupvars.bat file you run in the cma

[iconnor]

Having the same problem.  ubuntu 18.04

/opt/intel/openvino/bin/setupvars.sh 
[setupvars.sh] OpenVINO environment initialized
echo $PYTHONPATH

nothing is printed.  env shows no variables set specific to openvino.  The setupvars.sh script is not having any effect.

[iconnor]

Fixed it. Instead of running /opt/intel/openvino/setupvars.sh, you have to source it.

source /opt/intel/openvino/setupvars.sh

echo $PYTHONPATH
/opt/intel/openvino_2020.2.120/python/python3.6:/opt/intel/openvino_2020.2.120/python/python3:/opt/intel/openvino_2020.2.120/deployment_tools/open_model_zoo/tools/accuracy_checker:/opt/intel/openvino_2020.2.120/deployment_tools/model_optimizer:/opt/intel/openvino_2020.2.120/data_processing/dl_streamer/python:/opt/intel/openvino_2020.2.120/data_processing/gstreamer/lib/python3.6/site-packages:/opt/intel/openvino_2020.2.120/python/python3.6:/opt/intel/openvino_2020.2.120/python/python3:/opt/intel/openvino_2020.2.120/deployment_tools/open_model_zoo/tools/accuracy_checker:/opt/intel/openvino_2020.2.120/deployment_tools/model_optimizer:/opt/intel/openvino_2020.2.120/data_processing/dl_streamer/python:/opt/intel/openvino_2020.2.120/data_processing/gstreamer/lib/python3.6/site-packages:

Hi I am facing the same problem as "No Module named Openvino", But I dont know how to fix it. Can you please tell me how you fixed that. I dint get your solution,

 Instead of running /opt/intel/openvino/setupvars.sh, you have to source it.

source /opt/intel/openvino/setupvars.sh

How to do this? where to right this?

Thanks

[GauthierSornet]

Even it is an old topic, I solved this problem for a raspberry pi by taking care of the linux xxbits version according to the openvino xxbits version.

I my case, i setup an 64bits 2023-05-03-raspios-bullseye-arm64.img.xzand then a 64bits openvino and it works perfectly. Dont forget to use "source" to run the setupvars.sh

Have fun.
