Hi @Abhi-SimuTech , You are right, this week a new module was introduced, that is not compatible with Python 3.7, which is the python version used by 2022R2 and 2023R1. But, we are lucky, and yesterday it was removed from the dependencies: It means, in the next PyAEDT version 0.9.3, it will work again. This new release will happen today or tomorrow. I will let you know. In the meanwhile, you can test it, by commenting and uncommenting these lines: This will install PyAEDT from the main, instead of using the latest release. You need to have git installed on your computer. For me it worked. Finally, I suggest moving to new AEDT versions, because 2022R2 is the last PyAEDT-compatible version and for example, in some months it will not be compatible with new PyAEDT versions, of course, if you want to use PyAEDT 0.9.3 and AEDT 2022R2, you can use it forever, but if you need to update PyAEDT versions ( for instance PyAEDT v1.0, at some point in the future, this AEDT version will not be compatible. Right now, to have better experience, I suggest using AEDT 2024R1, because all PyAEDT unit tests are passing on this version and it is using Python 3.10 by default which is the standard in the community. Python 3.7 is deprecated, other modules like matplotlib or numpy, are already stopped, and it means if there is a bug in Python 3.7 related to matplotlib, they will not fix it, for that reason, it is better to move to AEDT 2024R1. |
