I am trying to get Rhino8 setup with python 3 on my work pc. I have tried following along with other posts about this issue, but I can not seem to get python 3 to initialize correctly. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I can see that python 3.9 is installed in my .rhinocode folder, but the initialization still fails.

I have tried closing rhino, deleting the .rhioncode folder, and opening rhino again, but it always fails.

I already have python 3.11 installed for all users… not sure if this could be causing an issue.

This all works fine on my work laptop, but it fails on all the desktops I have tried this on.

  • Delete the .rhinocode folder and run ScriptEditor command in Rhino again. After it fails run RhinoCodeLogs command and DM me the contents. There must be a line there related to install error.
  • Independent python installations should not conflict with what is shipped with Rhino
