Python files require no additional dependencies Rust modules require rust (cargo binary) to compile.

python -m build.py

Rust module compilation can be skipped with the --skip-rs-build flag. This should only be done if the rust compilation is taking long. If the rust code has not been compiled, the build script will crash when it tries to copy the binary.

python -m build.py --skip-rs-build

Make sure python version matches what NX needs, otherwise NX will complain about loading Python{version}.dll

NX Python versions:

• NX 12: Python 3.6
• NX 1953: Python 3.8

if multiple versions are installed, you can set an environment variable to coerce pyo3 into using the right interpreter

PYO3_PYTHON={PATH_TO_PYTHON_INTERPRETER}

To deploy to local, use the --local flag

python -m build.py --local

To deploy to an engineering server installation directory use the --dest flag with the base installation folder

python -m build.py --dest {base install directory}
