ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'imp'

[learnerwyn]

I was trying to implement the following demo codes on my Mac, in a conda environment with tdw installed by "pip3 install tdw"
python: 3.9.6
Mac OS: Sonoma 14.7

from tdw.controller import Controller

c = Controller()
print("Hello world")
c.communicate({"$type": "terminate"})

but the terminal returns the following error:

 File "/opt/miniconda3/envs/mumatom/lib/python3.12/site-packages/tdw/flatbuffers/compat.py", line 19, in <module>
    import imp
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'imp'

where mumatom is the name of my conda environment.

Has this to do with the conda environment I am using? or I need to download/update some packages

@learnerwyn I met this too! Have you solved it?

Having the same issue with python 3.13 on win11 using UV and pip

I've gotten it to run by just creating an empty imp.py file

You need to run an earlier version of Python. I think 3.11 works. Unfortunately, I don't have time anymore to update TDW to make it work with newer Python versions.
