Hi there,
I have had continual trouble getting ROOT to work with Python3. This was an outstanding issue but I have recently updated to version 6.22/0.8 on Ubuntu 18.04, which I understand has the ability to build the PyROOT bindings for python2 and python3. I downloaded the binary Release 62208 - ROOT for Ubuntu 18. However I get an ImportError in Python3 (version 3.7.4) and when I check the field root-config --python3-version
nothing is returned which implies to me that the Python3 bindings aren’t built? When I do root-config -python2-version
, 2.7.17 is returned.
Interestingly, when I do export PYTHONPATH=/usr/lib64/root
in my base (home) directory, I can import ROOT in python3. This does not work when working in any other directory…
Many thanks,
Ethan
