Dear community,

I downloaded the USDPython 0.64 Package for my macOS Big Sur 11 on my new Mac book pro with M1 (13inc).

After installing it the .pkg ( that is a modelio) I open the folder in my Applications folder and I double click on the usd.command.

I am on .zsh and I did .zshrc and inserted my filepath

in my case are

Code Block export PATH=$PATH:/Users/<myusername>/Applications/usdpython/USD
export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/Users/<myusername>/Applications/usdpython/USD/lib/python
export PATH=$PATH:/Users/<myusername>/Applications/usdpython/usdzconvert

are these correct?

I am not sure if that Machintosh HD should be /Users/<myusername>

I keep getting the

Code Block Error: failed to import pxr module. Please add path to USD Python bindings to your PYTHONPATH

Any help would be much appreciated

I also have this issue on my Mac mini (M1). The pxr python module is not compiled for ARM architecture and I think nothing can be done until Apple releases ARM version of the library.

Here is my debug:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Users/michal/usdpython/usdzconvert/usdzconvert", line 13, in <module>
import usdUtils
File "/Users/michal/usdpython/usdzconvert/usdUtils.py", line 5, in <module>
from pxr import *
File "/Users/michal/usdpython/USD/lib/python/pxr/Tf/init.py", line 85, in <module>
from . import tf
ImportError: dlopen(/Users/michal/usdpython/USD/lib/python/pxr/Tf/tf.so, 2): no suitable image found. Did find:
/Users/michal/usdpython/USD/lib/python/pxr/Tf/tf.so: mach-o, but wrong architecture
/Users/michal/usdpython/USD/lib/python/pxr/Tf/tf.so: mach-o, but wrong architecture

I had the issue on M1 Mac and solved it.

Open Rosetta Terminal and run USD.command and usdzconvert in Applications/usdpython folder.

Locate the Terminal application within the Utilities folder (Finder > Go menu > Utilities)
Select Terminal.app and right-click on it, then choose “Duplicate”
Rename the duplicated Terminal app something obvious and distinct, like ‘Rosetta Terminal’
Now select the freshly renamed ‘Rosetta Terminal’ app and right-click and choose “Get Info” (or hit Command+i)
Check the box for “Open using Rosetta”, then close the Get Info window
Run the “Rosetta Terminal”

Copy usdpython from /Applications to ~/Developer as follows -

$ cp -R /Applications/usdpython ~/Developer/

Then add the following to your .bash_profile


export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/Developer/usdpython/USD

export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/Developer/usdpython/USD/lib/

export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/Developer/usdpython/usdzconvert

`Copy usdpython from /Applications to ~/Developer as follows -

$ cp -R /Applications/usdpython ~/Developer/ Then add the following to your .bash_profile`

This did not work.
