Under the current build, I am having issues with os.path.exists() behaving differently after the call to RGBMatrix(). I thought it might be similar to Cpython bug?! include path break after rgbmatrix() because I am using a vent due to running on RaspberryPi under Trixie (you can’t really use pip anymore, has to comp from apt install python3-xxxx.) I tried using the system.path.append() hack from that post to no avail. This is the bit of code that breaks:
import sys
sys.path.append(“venv/lib/python3.13/site-packages/”)
import os
from rgbmatrix import RGBMatrix, RGBMatrixOptions
myPath = os.path.abspath(sys.argv[0])
print("Before RGBMatrix: " + sys.argv[0] + " os.path.exists is " + str(os.path.exists(sys.argv[0])))
print("Before RGBMatrix: " + myPath + " os.path.exists is " + str(os.path.exists(myPath)))
matrix = RGBMatrix()
print("After RGBMatrix: " + sys.argv[0] + " os.path.exists is " + str(os.path.exists(sys.argv[0])))
print("After RGBMatrix: " + myPath + " os.path.exists is " + str(os.path.exists(myPath)))
path is true on the relative path bot times, but False on the absolute path after the call to RGBMatrix(). This is under Trixie on a Pi running Python 3.13 using a default venv and running it as such:
sudo vent/bin/python testpath.py
-or–
sudo python testpath.py
Any thoughts? I am sure the vent has something to do with it. Maybe I need to build the lib using the venv
