Re: Potentially Helpful Pointers for OpenSim 4.3 Python 3.8 Install
I saw this thread pop back up, so I thought I would add another two cents in here from my experience - as it aligns with what Dan has mentioned.
Despite following my own instructions I once again ran into the issue of not being able to find simbody when importing opensim after the install. For some unknown ridiculous reason, my thought process was to change my Python version from 3.9 to 3.7 to potentially check for version issues. In doing so I ran into the same simbody issue and after much troubleshooting decided to give up. A while later I decided to try again, and this time went with Python 3.8 as the version - and wouldn't you know everything ran smoothly and the opensim install worked exactly as it should!
So the lesson I've learnt here is to simply always install OpenSim 4.3 using Python 3.8!. Somebody please learn from my hapless mistakes...
