I am trying to interface a controller for an experiment with python. Currently, this is the code I'm trying to run
import sys
print('adding location of IOPortClientLib.dll & Newport.CONEXAGP.CommandInterfacedll to sys.path')
sys.path.append(r'C:\Program Files\Newport\Piezo Motion Control\Newport CONEX-AGP Applet\Bin')
import clr
clr.AddReference('Newport.CONEXAGP.CommandInterface.dll')
and I get two different results:
- From Ubuntu (WSL) I get
adding location of IOPortClientLib.dll & Newport.CONEXAGP.CommandInterfacedll to sys.path
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "conex_test.py", line 7, in <module>
clr.AddReference('Newport.CONEXAGP.CommandInterface.dll')
AttributeError: module 'clr' has no attribute 'AddReference'
- From python3 IDLE, I get
adding location of IOPortClientLib.dll & Newport.CONEXAGP.CommandInterfacedll to sys.path
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\natal\Box Sync\Downer group (ndf367@eid.utexas.edu)\Sandia\code\python\conex_test.py", line 6, in <module>
import clr
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'clr'
When I searched for these errors, I was recommended to install pythonnet, so I ran pip3 install pythonnet in Ubuntu and this is the output
WARNING: pip is being invoked by an old script wrapper. This will fail in a future version of pip.
Please see https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/5599 for advice on fixing the underlying issue.
To avoid this problem you can invoke Python with '-m pip' instead of running pip directly.

I've tried updating setuptools and wheel like it was suggested here but I get the same error. What am I missing?
