ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'libfdt' after Installing

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'libfdt' after Installing

[AbdelRahman Yossef]

Hi,

After installing the dependencies (swig and python3-dev), I still get
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'libfdt'.

I install using pip (pip install
git+git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/dtc/dtc.git@main) and I got
that It's "Successfully installed".

Thanks,
Abdelrahman

There's not much to go on here.  What are the steps you're taking, and
what are the results you're expecting?

I'm trying to run a python script in the linux kernel that uses libfdt.

I guess I'm just expecting to run successfully.

I mean I can't import in a simple python script, I just get this error.

Thanks,

In general, I don't think pip works with pylibfdt in dtc repo. I gave
up trying to get something that worked with pip. And make. And meson.
So I packaged pylibfdt for pip/pypi here:
