Download and install Valentina for Python.

After the Valentina for Python completes the installation, you will find the following:

  • The “VPython_x64_VERSION” folder in the “/Users/Shared/Paradigma Software” folder. This folder contains valentina.so extension and the Examples folder;
  • The vcomponents_x64 folder in the “/usr/local/lib”. This folder contains several dynamic libraries. See the detailed description of vcomponents folder.
  • You may need to add 'valentina.so' extension into 'site-packages' of your python3 installation, the standard location can be retrieved using the following command:
    python3 -m site
Create 'site-packages' folder manually if it doesn't exist
