Glad there has been progress! What do you mean when you write "Python
not recognizing the script calls"? I can think of several meanings, and
there are probably more that haven't occurred to me:
1. The plugin doesn't import;
2. The plugin imports but you can't actually use the imported classes
and functions;
3. You are trying to run a ChemPlugin Python program (outside of Python)
but it can't be found;
4. You are trying to run a ChemPlugin batch file (outside of Python) but
it can't be found;
5. Your Python program is trying to run a ChemPlugin Python or batch
file but that fails;

Thank you for the feedback- I think with the change in the location to my user
area at least one hurdle has been overcome, I can now see ChemPlugin when I
print listdir. I immediately hit the next issue of Python not recognizing the
script calls, but this is my first hint of success in 3 days.
Thanks again, I'll start troubleshooting the next obstacle now

Looking at the ChemPlugin site, it looks like by default it would install into
"C:\Program Files". Typically ordinary users do not have full privileges
there, although they may have read privileges. If this is the case, either you would need
to run it in an elevated
(adminstrator) session, or try to reinstall it somewhere you do have
privileges. You probably need to have write privileges too, since Python will
try to write its compiled files into the same tree (but these files may have
been created during installation so possibly not an issue). Re-installing it
might require moving the license as well.
Note that I have never used this product, so I don't have any personal
experience about it to call on.

Hello-
I've been struggling with resolving environmental variables issues and I
believe it is linked to my company's administrator privileges. The program is
called ChemPlugin and I am attempting to run it using Python 3.10.8 on Windows.
I can't seem to get Python to recognize the PYTHONPATH that points to the
ChemPlugin\src. I have to download ChemPlugin using my administrator login
name, but Python is loaded to my local user profile. I can't seem to bridge
the gap.
I have been working with both the ChemPlugin group and our internal IT and we
are all stumped. Is there any experience with this issue?
Thanks,
Ginny
