import olca "no module found" eclipse #31
Description
I am trying to work with openlca using eclipse to automate data updates based on data collected from Excel. When I try to run import olca command from eclipse I get an error saying the "no module found" I have been through every installation guide and cannot figure out how to get this to work. I installed olca-ipc using pip, I copied the libs folder from openlca into the C:\Users*****\openLCA-data-1.4\html\olca-app folder. It still does not work. I am using the most current installation for everything. I have lots of coding experience with VBA, R, and MATLAB, but am new to python.

The
olcamodule comes with olca-ipc.py but it only works in standard Python and communicates with openLCA via an http server (you need to start it in openLCA via Tools > Developer tools > IPC server). The Python scripts that you can run in openLCA run on Jython which is a Python implementation for the Java virtual machine. The olca module does not work there. Instead you directly call the Java API of openLCA with it.dilull0 commentedon Jan 21, 2022
Just to make sure I understand this correctly.
When you go Tools>Developer Tools>Python the code here uses jython
jython uses code like
from org.openlca.core.database import UnitGroupDao, FlowPropertyDao, CategoryDao, Daos
key commands can be found in https://github.com/GreenDelta/olca-modules/tree/master/olca-core/src/main/java/org/openlca/core/model
For IPC Server when written in eclipse or another ide you use olca-ipc.py and the import command should work if I run the code in eclipse.
