i am struggling to get pycups to work in a conda environment.

I get Symbol not found: _libiconv.

I'm running on macOS Mojave.

I assume it is a path problem because on the same machine it works fine installed in an environment created using python3: python3 -m venv myenv

but with conda, no such luck:

conda create myenv python=3.7
conda activate myenv
pip install pycups

python
Python 3.7.3 (default, Mar 27 2019, 16:54:48)
[Clang 4.0.1 (tags/RELEASE_401/final)] :: Anaconda, Inc. on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

>>> import cups

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: dlopen(/anaconda3/envs/myenv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/cups.cpython-37m-darwin.so, 2): Symbol not found: _libiconv

  • Did you try "conda install pycups"? – Natsfan Apr 30 '19 at 15:52
  • there is a channel ``avanderm``, but this is old and has a package for linux/py35 only. On the mac ``conda install -c avanderm pycups`` returns ``PackagesNotFoundError``. Thanks! – erikvw May 01 '19 at 20:50
