Config.py: ModuleNotFound: No module named 'carla'

#1

I’m doing a debian install following the quickstart guide here: https://carla.readthedocs.io/en/latest/start_quickstart/

Everything is fine until I try to use the config.py script. When I do, it just gives me a ModuleNotFound: no module named 'carla' error. Am I supposed to be setting PYTHONPATH to something? There’s nothing in the docs about that.

Edit: The problem seems to be that I am using ubuntu 20.04. The python api only supports python 3.7, but 20.04 ships with 3.8.

#2

Need to do two things to get everything to work under 20.04. First, set the PYTHONPATH to the carla egg file:

export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/opt/carla-simulator/PythonAPI/carla/dist/carla-0.9.10-py3.7-linux-x86_64.egg

Then, in any executable scripts, make sure the shebang invokes python 3:

#!/usr/bin/env python3
