Product: SACS v15.0
Hello SACS community,
I am trying to install the Python API for SACS 15.0 per the instructions in the documentation. I get the following error (no module named SACS.Model.Error)
I have tried adding the SACS package into the site-packages folder of my Python installation, modifying the system path as well as the pythonpath, but no luck. Additionally, attempting a Python API installation on SACS 15.1 using pip also resulted in the same error. I am not sure how to proceed, has anyone faced this before? Thanks!

Hello Arun Thamban good day
here you have a little wiki about how to install Python API,
please could you attach a screenshot of the path where the files .gz and .whl are, I need to see the name of the files for example in my case the rut for these files is the next
Hi Ricardo, thanks for your reply
In my case I do not have a .gz or .whl, the installation is for 15.0. The library folder looks like this
And the Model folder looks like this
See also this screenshot from the SACS API- PYTHON video from Bentley on YouTube (I work with 15.0)
I followed the instructions in index.html and I get the error posted previously. Since a pip installation is not possible I am not sure how to proceed. Any ideas?
ok, Arun Thamban please give me a few minutes to investigate
Arun Thamban could you tell me who was the comant to install sacs API? What developed environment are you using? if you are using Visual code could you tell me the version for this one?
Hi Ricardo, the documentation for SACS 15.0 says the following
Thus there was no command I could use to install the SACS API. I think that Python is able to find the .dlls as mentioned, since Python is able to find the __init__.py file. But it cannot run the code in __init__ successfully. I use Miniconda3 to run Python, and work with VS Code 1.78.2
Good day Arun Thamban
I recommended that you update it to version 15.1, in the next direction you will have the files to install Python API
Depending on your version of Python, you have to install one of the files shown below, (version 3.7, 6.8 or 3.9)
now, you can open a terminal and type the next command. you need to change the yellow highlighter by the pathway of your Python version, and the blue text with the pathway of the file .whl to install
C:\Users\Ricardo.Alarcon\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\python.exe -m pip install "C:\Program Files (x86)\Bentley\Engineering\SACS CONNECT Edition V15\SDK\Python\pkg\SACS-15.1-cp39-cp39-win_amd64.whl"
if everything is well you can see the next process
to know if you have installed the API version only have to type "pip list"
Regards
