Is there a way to distribute libraries that use basilisp? #1206

I've been trying out basilisp-blender and I would like to make a library of utility functions that I can install and reuse in other basilisp projects. My dev env words great and I can package the library however, I am having trouble at the next step - trying to import /require the libraries.

Basically my new namespaces are not picked up by basilisp bootstrap and the require doesn't work. I would love to know if there are existing patterns for being able to distribute basilisp code for reuse as libraries.

Thank you!

Hi @zachcp,

Let's take a step back and establish a common understanding of Python's import behavior and its relevance to Blender and Basilisp.

Using `basimol` virtual environment in Blender

Premise 1:

To import a Python package, its directory must be a subpath of a directory in sys.path.

Step 1: Check Blender’s `sys.path`

I've installed Blender 4.3.2 on macOS and checked its sys.path in Blender scripting tab:

PYTHON INTERACTIVE CONSOLE 3.11.9 (main, Aug  1 2024, 14:06:12) [Clang 15.0.0 (clang-1500.1.0.2.5)]

Builtin Modules:       bpy, bpy.data, bpy.ops, bpy.props, bpy.types, bpy.context, bpy.utils, bgl, gpu, blf, mathutils
Convenience Imports:   from mathutils import *; from math import *
Co…

Hi @zachcp,

Requiring Basilisp libraries should work out of the box after running basilisp bootstrap (which only needs to be run once).

I looked into the basimol project and noticed that in the pixi.toml file, the repl task passes the --python-use-system-env option to the Blender executable.

I assume the expectation is that this option would allow Blender to pick up Pixi’s virtual environment sys.path directories, including all dependencies and the basimol source code. However, this didn’t work for me on either Linux or macOS.

This behavior aligns with the --python-use-system-env documentation, which states that this option enables Python to use system environment variables such as PYTHONPATH and the user site-packages directory. However, virtual environments do not set PYTHONPATH by default.

--python-use-system-env

Allow Python to use system environment variables such as PYTHONPATH and the user site-packages directory.

As a result, dependencies declared by Pixi and the source code will not be available for import or require. Could this be what you’re experiencing?

Could you please share the output of sys.path from within Blender after running pixi run repl and confirm whether the virtual environment’s directories are included in sys.path?

By the way, the project looks great! I was able to run the Rapamycin example from the core.lpy comment section using the Basilisp Blender Extension and by utilizing Blender's pip to install it under the nrepl project dir. 🚀 Generated image:

@ikappaki , thank you - your work is an inspiration.

I think you are right about the system path and I still don't quite grok the basilisp compilation model. Here is my system path.

Also, as a note:

pixi run docs

Import

When I use import, the init.py is picked up. However that is not the same case with the lpy files.

Require

(require '[basimol.core :as core])
core

Note: the docs are using Basilisp-kernel under the hood. So I think you are absolutely right about the path being the issue, however:

git clone https://github.com/zachcp/basimol.git
cd basimol
pixi shell                # sets up and enters the venv
jupyter lab               # run a notebook using the basilisp kernel...

The image below seems to me to suggest the paths are okay. But maybe the basilisp compiler does not see the lpy files.

Hi @zachcp,

Let's take a step back and establish a common understanding of Python's import behavior and its relevance to Blender and Basilisp.

Using `basimol` virtual environment in Blender

Premise 1:

To import a Python package, its directory must be a subpath of a directory in sys.path.

Step 1: Check Blender’s `sys.path`

I've installed Blender 4.3.2 on macOS and checked its sys.path in Blender scripting tab:

PYTHON INTERACTIVE CONSOLE 3.11.9 (main, Aug  1 2024, 14:06:12) [Clang 15.0.0 (clang-1500.1.0.2.5)]

Builtin Modules:       bpy, bpy.data, bpy.ops, bpy.props, bpy.types, bpy.context, bpy.utils, bgl, gpu, blf, mathutils
Convenience Imports:   from mathutils import *; from math import *
Convenience Variables: C = bpy.context, D = bpy.data

>>> import sys
>>> sys.path
['/Applications/Blender.app/Contents/Resources/4.3/scripts/startup',
'/Applications/Blender.app/Contents/Resources/4.3/scripts/modules',
'/Applications/Blender.app/Contents/Resources/4.3/python/lib/python311.zip',
'/Applications/Blender.app/Contents/Resources/4.3/python/lib/python3.11',
'/Applications/Blender.app/Contents/Resources/4.3/python/lib/python3.11/lib-dynload',
'/Applications/Blender.app/Contents/Resources/4.3/python/lib/python3.11/site-packages',
'/Applications/Blender.app/Contents/Resources/4.3/scripts/freestyle/modules',
'/Users/ikappaki/Library/Application Support/Blender/4.3/scripts/addons/modules',
'/Applications/Blender.app/Contents/Resources/4.3/scripts/addons_core']

Let's call this Set1. This confirms that Blender uses its own built-in Python environment.

Since I haven't installed any extensions, addons, or run any custom pip commands within the Blender environment, the basilisp or basilisp-blender package is not accessible in my clean Blender installation:

>> import basilisp.nrepl
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<blender_console>", line 1, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'basilisp'

Step 2: Check Pixi’s Virtual Environment (sys.path)

Now, launching the Pixi shell (pixi shell) in basimol and checking its sys.path:

~/src/basimol $ pixi shell
(basimol) ~/src/basimol $ python
Python 3.11.0 | packaged by conda-forge | (main, Jan 14 2023, 12:26:40) [Clang 14.0.6 ] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import sys
>>> sys.path
['', 
'/Users/ikappaki/src/basimol/.pixi/envs/default/lib/python311.zip', 
'/Users/ikappaki/src/basimol/.pixi/envs/default/lib/python3.11', 
'/Users/ikappaki/src/basimol/.pixi/envs/default/lib/python3.11/lib-dynload', 
'/Users/ikappaki/src/basimol/.pixi/envs/default/lib/python3.11/site-packages', 
'/Users/ikappaki/src/basimol/src']

This is Set2, which is completely disjoint from Set1. With this sys.path we can access any basimol Python (but not .lpy yet) dependencies.

Step 3: Attempting to Use Pixi’s Environment in Blender

Let's try and see if --python-use-system-env will give us access to Pixi's virtual env.

Running Blender with --python-use-system-env:

(basimol) ~/src/basimol $ /Applications/Blender.app/Contents/MacOS/Blender --python-use-system-env

In Blender's scripting tab

Clang 15.0.0 (clang-1500.1.0.2.5)]

Builtin Modules:       bpy, bpy.data, bpy.ops, bpy.props, bpy.types, bpy.context, bpy.utils, bgl, gpu, blf, mathutils
Convenience Imports:   from mathutils import *; from math import *
Convenience Variables: C = bpy.context, D = bpy.data

>>> import sys
>>> sys.path
['/Applications/Blender.app/Contents/Resources/4.3/scripts/startup', 
'/Applications/Blender.app/Contents/Resources/4.3/scripts/modules', 
'/Applications/Blender.app/Contents/Resources/4.3/python/lib/python311.zip', 
'/Applications/Blender.app/Contents/Resources/4.3/python/lib/python3.11', 
'/Applications/Blender.app/Contents/Resources/4.3/python/lib/python3.11/lib-dynload', 
'/Applications/Blender.app/Contents/Resources/4.3/python/lib/python3.11/site-packages', 
'/Applications/Blender.app/Contents/Resources/4.3/scripts/freestyle/modules', 
'/Users/chaos/Library/Application Support/Blender/4.3/scripts/addons/modules', 
'/Applications/Blender.app/Contents/Resources/4.3/scripts/addons_core'
]

Let's call this Set3., which is the same as Set1, i.e. the --python-use-system-env flag has no effect. Blender's Python can't reference any packages from Pixi's venv.

Step 4: Running Blender as a Pixi Task

Let's try and see if running it as a Pixi task makes any difference.

Defining a Pixi task in pixi.toml:

blender = "/Applications/Blender.app/Contents/MacOS/Blender --python-use-system-env"

Running:

$ pixi run blender
✨ Pixi task (blender): /Applications/Blender.app/Contents/MacOS/Blender --python-use-system-env

Checking sys.path in Blender:

# in Blender's scripting tab
PYTHON INTERACTIVE CONSOLE 3.11.9 (main, Aug  1 2024, 14:06:12) [Clang 15.0.0 (clang-1500.1.0.2.5)]

Builtin Modules:       bpy, bpy.data, bpy.ops, bpy.props, bpy.types, bpy.context, bpy.utils, bgl, gpu, blf, mathutils
Convenience Imports:   from mathutils import *; from math import *
Convenience Variables: C = bpy.context, D = bpy.data

>> import sys
>>> sys.path
['/Applications/Blender.app/Contents/Resources/4.3/scripts/startup',
'/Applications/Blender.app/Contents/Resources/4.3/scripts/modules',
'/Applications/Blender.app/Contents/Resources/4.3/python/lib/python311.zip',
'/Applications/Blender.app/Contents/Resources/4.3/python/lib/python3.11',
'/Applications/Blender.app/Contents/Resources/4.3/python/lib/python3.11/lib-dynload',
'/Applications/Blender.app/Contents/Resources/4.3/python/lib/python3.11/site-packages',
'/Applications/Blender.app/Contents/Resources/4.3/scripts/freestyle/modules',
'/Users/ikappaki/Library/Application Support/Blender/4.3/scripts/addons/modules',
'/Applications/Blender.app/Contents/Resources/4.3/scripts/addons_core']

Let's call this Set4 which is still the same as Set1, which confirms Blender still does not recognize Pixi's venv.

Step 5: Remove Blender's Python installation (@zachcp's hack)

Run the remove Pixi task to delete Blender’s bundled Python:

(basimol) ~/src/basimol $ pixi run remove
✨ Pixi task (remove): rm -rf /Applications/Blender.app/Contents/Resources/4.3/python

Running Blender:

(basimol) ~/src/basimol $ /Applications/Blender.app/Contents/MacOS/Blender --python-use-system-env
Bundled Python not found and is expected on this platform (the 'install' target may have not been built)

Checking sys.path in Blender:

PYTHON INTERACTIVE CONSOLE 3.11.9 (main, Aug  1 2024, 14:06:12) [Clang 15.0.0 (clang-1500.1.0.2.5)]

Builtin Modules:       bpy, bpy.data, bpy.ops, bpy.props, bpy.types, bpy.context, bpy.utils, bgl, gpu, blf, mathutils
Convenience Imports:   from mathutils import *; from math import *
Convenience Variables: C = bpy.context, D = bpy.data

>>> import sys
>>> sys.path
['/Applications/Blender.app/Contents/Resources/4.3/scripts/startup',
'/Applications/Blender.app/Contents/Resources/4.3/scripts/modules', 
'/Users/ikappaki/src/basimol/.pixi/envs/default/lib/python311.zip', 
'/Users/ikappaki/src/basimol/.pixi/envs/default/lib/python3.11', 
'/Users/ikappaki/src/basimol/.pixi/envs/default/lib/python3.11/lib-dynload', 
'/Users/ikappaki/src/basimol/.pixi/envs/default/lib/python3.11/site-packages', 
'/Users/ikappaki/src/basimol/src', 
'/Applications/Blender.app/Contents/Resources/4.3/scripts/freestyle/modules', 
'/Users/chaos/Library/Application Support/Blender/4.3/scripts/addons/modules', 
'/Applications/Blender.app/Contents/Resources/4.3/scripts/addons_core']

Let's call this Set5. It picked up Pixi's venv's sys.path.

Blender now recognizes Pixi’s virtual environment and can import the basimol package

>>> import basimol
>>>

Although we don't care about this in this exercise, if we were to try and import Basilisp .lpy files from Python, it won't work, since the Python interpreter doesn't know anything about .lpy files, and we haven't really configured anything to the contrary in the Pixi venv:

>>> import basimol.core
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<blender_console>", line 1, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'basimol.core'

Importing `basilmol` `.lpy` files from Python

We don't really care about loading .lpy files from the Python Interpreter (we care about requireing .lpy files from the Basilisp repl), but since this was brought up, here it is how can be setup.

Below, we use the Python command directly from the command line, but you should see the same behavior when you run Blender with @zachcp's hack (Step5).

Premise 2

By default, Python cannot import .lpy modules.

Understanding Basilisp Bootstrap

Running:

(basimol) ~/src/basimol $ python
Python 3.11.0 | packaged by conda-forge | (main, Jan 14 2023, 12:26:40) [Clang 14.0.6 ] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import basimol.core
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'basimol.core'

i.e. Python can't import .lpy files by default (Premise 2).

Running basilisp bootstrap fixes this:

(basimol) ~/src/basimol $ basilisp bootstrap
Your Python installation has been bootstrapped! You can undo this at any time with with `basilisp bootstrap --uninstall`.

Now:

(basimol) ~/src/basimol $ python
Python 3.11.0 | packaged by conda-forge | (main, Jan 14 2023, 12:26:40) [Clang 14.0.6 ] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import basimol.core  # Works!

This works because basilisp bootstrap adds a basilispbootstrap.pth file to Pixi’s venv's site-packages directory (at .pixi/envs/default/lib/python3.11/site-packages), enabling .lpy imports within Pixi’s environment.

(basimol) ~/src/basimol $ find .pixi -name basilispbootstrap.pth
.pixi/envs/default/lib/python3.11/site-packages/basilispbootstrap.pth
(basimol) ~/src/basimol $ cat .pixi/envs/default/lib/python3.11/site-packages/basilispbootstrap.pth
import basilisp.sitecustomize

Since we are not interested of import'ing Basilisp .lpy files from Python, let's revert basilisp bootstrap:

(basimol) ~/src/basimol $ basilisp bootstrap --uninstall
Removed '/Users/chaos/src/basimol/.pixi/envs/default/lib/python3.11/site-packages/basilispbootstrap.pth'
basimol) ~/src/basimol $ find . .pixi -name '*.pth'    
./.pixi/envs/default/lib/python3.11/site-packages/distutils-precedence.pth
./.pixi/envs/default/lib/python3.11/site-packages/_basimol.pth
.pixi/envs/default/lib/python3.11/site-packages/distutils-precedence.pth
.pixi/envs/default/lib/python3.11/site-packages/_basimol.pth

Requiring `.lpy` files from Blender

When we bring up the Basilisp (n)REPL, as long as the Basilisp source code is a subdirectory of sys.path, we can require any .lpy file.

Premise 3

The Basilisp (n)REPL or any other Basilisp evaluation command, can require any .lpy file that is in the sys.path

Requiring `basimol` from Blender

With @zachcp hack (Step5), we can require any basimol file (because /Users/ikappai/src/basimol/src is in the path, see Set5):

Let's bring Blender up (Note, there is no need for basilisp bootstrap), and run the script that brings up the nREPL server

(basimol) ~/src/basimol $ /Applications/Blender.app/Contents/MacOS/Blender --python-use-system-env --python scripts/start_nrepl.py
Bundled Python not found and is expected on this platform (the 'install' target may have not been built)
nREPL server started on port 64350 on host 127.0.0.1 - nrepl://127.0.0.1:64350
nREPL server started. Port file: /Users/ikappaki/src/basimol/.nrepl-port

Connect to the nREPL server, and require basimol.core:

user> sys/path
#py ["/Applications/Blender.app/Contents/Resources/4.3/scripts/startup"
"/Applications/Blender.app/Contents/Resources/4.3/scripts/modules"

Conclusion

With @zachcp hack (Step5), we can use Pixi's venv in Blender.
There is no need to use basilisp bootstrap to require Basilisp .lpy files from the (n)REPL. This is only relevant if we need to import .lpy files from Python.
requireing .lpy files from the (n)REPL should work out of the box, as long as there in a subdirectory of sys.path (Premise3)

Could you go through the steps one by one and check if your results differ or if anything is unclear?

Thanks

Thank you @ikappaki .

So I can confirm that behavior but am also encountering an issue which, based on your description of compilation. I believe I had an issue related to caching:

pixi clean && pixi run repl

# in blender
>>> import basimol
>>> import basimol.core
>>> import basimol.core as bc
>>> bc.
       Union_32(
       Var_31(
       atom_9
       attr_3
       auto_set_camera()
       basilisp
       basilisp_core
       basilisp_string
       basimol_styles
       bl_nodes_JvUHPD
       /////
>>> bc.draw__BANG__()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<blender_console>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: draw__BANG__() missing 4 required positional arguments: 'arr_8821', 'style_key_8822', 'style_map_8823', and 'material_8824'

This behavior persists in my Blender terminal even in a clean environment and even when I delete the cache like so:

# `pixi run repl` does NOT have the basilisp bootstrap
rm -rf src/basimol/__pycache__  && rm -rf .pixi && pixi run repl

zachcp Feb 10, 2025

So using your strategy of NOT using basilisp bootstrap I am able to:

use require just fine in the local basilisp repl.

However I have the following issues:

basimol seems to undergo compilation as a normal python package (most likely during gthe pixi/hatch build step) and this leads to the post-compilation fns in the repl.

Therefore I tried to remove __init__.py from src/basimol or change it to __init__.lpy . In both cases I can import the python lib and also require the lib.

So from my perspective I can use the library and I am going to try IPython and consider the import basimol.core as a problem outside the scope of my needs (although important)
