ImportError: cannot import name 'nnsearch' from 'kaolin.nnsearch'

[alexzhou907]

Here is the error when I import ModelNet or ShapeNet from kaolin.datasets outside kaolin root directory. However, when I am inside kaolin root dir, it seems to import okay. I don't know what could have gone wrong. I am using python 3.7, pytorch 1.4.0, torchvision 0.5.0.

I have tried previous solutions by changing outside kaolin root dir. It does not work.

I tried reinstall python 3.6, but I get the following error everywhere

Exactly the same error here with python 3.6, pytorch 1.4.0, torchvision 0.5.0, import kaolin only works in kaolin root dir, but fails anywhere else.

add export PYTHONPATH=/kaolin root dir:$PYTHONPATH to .bashrc solved my problem.

ImportError: cannot import name 'nnsearch'

import kaolin doesn't works in kaolin root dir, import-im6.q16: not authorized `kal' @ error/constitute.c/WriteImage/1037. add export PYTHONPATH=/kaolin root dir:$PYTHONPATH to .bashrc also doesn 't work any other solution?

add export PYTHONPATH=/kaolin root dir:$PYTHONPATH to .bashrc solved my problem.

@salvadog 's solution worked for me as well

add export PYTHONPATH=/kaolin root dir:$PYTHONPATH to .bashrc solved my problem. What does 'kaolin root dir' mean?

This gives me another error: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'kaolin.nnsearch'
