Can not find cpython engines #1779

dankinnett · 2023-03-31T16:47:04Z

Hi, after installing the latest version pyrevit I got this error message "Can not find cpython engines". Any idea what I did wrong?

jmcouffin · 2023-04-04T09:59:23Z

Can you run pyrevit env command and post the report
Also, check out this previous issue as a possible fix #605

dankinnett · 2023-04-04T15:19:39Z

Hi jmcouffin, thanks for your assistance. I checked post #605 and did not have folders 368 or 372 after install. Any idea why / where I can download them? They didn't appear to be in the source files for the latest release either. I ran pyrevit env in command and got these result:

Thanks again for your help.

jmcouffin · 2023-04-04T16:31:24Z

regarding the folder you should have these, or most of these here %AppData%\Roaming\pyRevit-Master\bin\engines

If you don't have one of the CPY folder, then that is why it cannot find cpython engine (> uninstall and install again)
If you have it, I suggest you try to attach you pyrevit version to Revit with a different engine with the command line;
pyrevit attach master 2711 --installed --allusers

Alternatively, you could try to uninstall and use one of the WIP installer you can find under the actions tab in github in the artifacts of one of the actions

dankinnett · 2023-04-04T18:03:00Z

Hi jmcouffin,

I have both of the CPY folders and they both have content in them (see attached). I am, however, missing the IMPY340PR folder. Could that be the issue? I've already tried uninstalling and reinstalling using both exe files. I'm not savvy enough to understand your alternative solution "you could try to uninstall and use one of the WIP installer you can find under the actions tab in github in the artifacts of one of the actions." Can you clarify?

Thanks again!

jmcouffin · 2023-04-04T18:46:03Z

The missing folder isn't the issue.
Sure, the files located in the actiond/workflow section of this repo. Those are the latest version / work in progress between releases

dankinnett · 2023-04-04T19:17:42Z

Hey jmcouffin, I tried the pyRevit_4.8.13.23093_signed and pyRevit_4.8.13.23093_admin_signed installers in that folder. Still having the same issue (see attached).

jmcouffin · 2023-04-04T19:27:29Z

Have you tried the command line ⬆️ ?

dankinnett · 2023-04-04T19:58:10Z

I tried both of the CLI installers. I don't get an error message regarding the cpython engines on start up any more, but I don't see any pyrevit tools when I open Revit... even though I see the application in my installed apps (see attached).

this is what I get after running pyrevit env:

jmcouffin · 2023-04-05T07:16:47Z

ok,
let me clarify.
The command line I mention is something similar to the pyrevit env command you ran.
The result of the pyrevit env command now tells me you have only pyRevit CLI installed (CLI stands for Command Line Interface) > no pyRevit addin installed, just the command line version of pyRevit, so it is normal to not have anything showing in pyRevit.
for reference:
https://pyrevitlabs.notion.site/pyRevit-CI-CD-92078f5fb72440de8e7b63f00fa72725
https://pyrevitlabs.notion.site/pyRevit-CLI-c50de95259114db795db5bd3f19f8e2a

https://pyrevitlabs.notion.site/Manage-pyRevit-clones-e9f789f9431346b482021f2a87a6dabf

Two options from there. You go grab one of the installers, either from the release section or from the actions section in the repo
OR
you install pyRevit from the command line running this command for example
pyrevit clone master
then
pyrevit attach master 2711 --installed --allusers

dankinnett · 2023-04-05T20:45:52Z

Hi jmcouffin,

Thanks for the clarification. My understanding is obviously quite superficial. I've tried all of the installers in the release section and the actions section. Same issue persists. I tried using the command line to install as well... but I may be getting a bit out of my depth. This is what I get when I try the second alternative that you proposed using the command prompt:

U:>pyrevit clone master
Error: Destination path already exists "C:\Users\daniel kinnett\AppData\Roaming\pyRevit\pyRevit\master"
Run with "--debug" option to see debug messages

U:>pyrevit attach master 2711 --installed --allusers

this:

Error: Destination path already exists "C:\Users\daniel kinnett\AppData\Roaming\pyRevit\pyRevit\master"

tells you you already have an installation or a clone of pyRevit available there.

Remove the folder C:\Users\daniel kinnett\AppData\Roaming\pyRevit
and rerun the 2 command lines mentioned earlier

dankinnett · 2023-04-07T00:31:48Z

hey jmcouffin,

After deleting the folder I ran reran the two command lines mentioned above. Unfortunately, still getting the same error that the system can not find cpython engines.

dankinnett · 2023-04-12T19:09:24Z

Hi jmcouffin,

Still having issues. I've tried all of the recommendations above? Any other ideas? Thanks.

brown313 · 2023-10-30T19:37:58Z

We have come across this same issue, even with the very latest version 4.8.13. We have found it is caused by having Windows FIPS mode enabled, which is a requirement for some of our users. If we disable FIPS, it works without issue.

jmcouffin · 2023-10-31T08:08:54Z

Can you try @brown313 recommandation @dankinnett ?

github-actions · 2024-02-16T01:46:45Z

This issue is stale because it has been open for 60 days with no activity.

github-actions · 2024-03-01T01:48:04Z

This issue was closed because it has been inactive for 14 days since being marked as stale.

Haunfelder · 2024-05-09T20:28:35Z

@brown313 Can you expand on how you disabled FIPs mode? What do you think is the cause of this mode blocking pyrevit from finding the cpython engines?

brown313 · 2024-05-09T20:43:31Z

In regedit, set HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\FipsAlgorithmPolicy\Enabled to 0
It's likely caused by a cryptographic module/algorithm being used that isn't FIP 140 compliant.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/security-foundations/certification/fips-140-validation may be helpful in further understanding

dankinnett · 2024-05-09T22:16:01Z

I figured out the issue for our office. When we installed as admin, the intaller was putting the python files in a location that Revit couldn't access. Re-installing without running as an administrator solved the issue for us. Thanks, Dan
