Luxcore Blender disappeared after Homebrew python upgrade. Cannot reactivate add-on.

Post by elki00 »

Hello. I posted the same issue on the github BlendLuxCore. Yesterday after upgrading Python3 via Homebrew (to version 3.9.1), LuxCoreRenderer tab disappeared from Blender 2.83. The add-on was still listed and ticked eventually. I uninstalled and tried reinstalling (same version: BlendLuxCore v2.4) but I get this error:
Screenshot 2020-12-16 at 14.27.19.png
"Could not import pyluxcore".

I also tried with reinstalling Python3 to no success.
Same with Blender, tried to reinstall the same version. Same issue.

Then tried with different Blender versions and their compatible LuxCore counterparts, nothing.

In the /scripts/addons/ folder there are obviously no leftovers after cleanup and further tries.

What went wrong? Please help me out.

The most similar case I could find around is this one, unsolved: viewtopic.php?t=2193
I tried too to install a previous Blender version with BlendLuxCore 2.2 but then I get the "you need a Blender version 2.81a or lower" instead of "could not import pyluxcore".

Steps to reproduce:

Update Python3 to 3.9.1 with Homebrew from Terminal
LuxCoreRenderer tab disappears.
Uninstall LuxCore 2.4 and reinstall.
Enable add-on.

OS: MacOS Mojave 10.14.6
Blender version: 2.83.0 2020-06-03
LuxCore version: 2.4


Thank you

I think this was coincidentally happening at the same time.

Blender uses it's internal python 3.7. unless you compile it for using the system python.
