while importing IECore, getting filenot found error

[muleymakarand]

Hi,

I am new to openVino. I have installed openvino 2021.3 package

My setup

OS = Windows 10

openVino = 2021.3

python = 3.8

Problem=

I am able to convert my RNN model into irfiles. I am trying to do inference.

To check my setup, i ran verification scripts (demo_squeezenet_download_convert_run.bat and demo_security_barrier_camera.bat). Both scripts ran without any error.

I have ran setupvars.bat. It ran without any error

To do inference, i am following steps in open model zoo/demos. When i am running following line to import IECore

"from openvino.inference_engine import IECore"

I am getting error as below

----------------------------------------

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

Any idea why am I seeing this error?

Hi Makarand Muley,

Thanks for reaching out to us.

There are some issues for Python 3.8 to work in OpenVINO™ 2021.3.

This issue has been fixed and will be available for the next distribution release which is OpenVINO™ 2021.4.

For now, there are three options for you:

Option 1: Downgrade the Python version to Python 3.7.

Option 2: Wait for the release of OpenVINO™ 2021.4, which is coming soon.

Option 3: Download the OpenVINO™ GitHub version and compile it for windows by following this WIKI.

Regards,

Wan
