I am trying to use the pycells in Klayout, but somehow the lib imported in the autorun file is not found, though I added that folder location. I must be missing something basic, any ideas?

ERROR: /foss/pdks/sg13g2/libs.tech/klayout/tech/pymacros/autorun.lym:4: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'sg13g2_pycell_lib'
  /foss/pdks/sg13g2/libs.tech/klayout/tech/pymacros/autorun.lym:4

Does it work if you copy

sg13g2_pycell_lib

to

klayout/tech/pymacros

?

That doesn't help unfortunately.

Sorry. While you’re waiting on advice from someone who actually knows what they’re doing, you might try copying to

$HOME/.klayout/pymacros

or

$HOME/.klayout/python

Still no luck. I also tried running the

__init__

file in

sg13g2_pycell_lib

directly, but then its dependencies in a parallel directory also do not get resolved. I must be missing something basic or something's broken, may have to do with the fact that I am running things in the tool container. Would be interesting to hear from someone who has gotten this to work or understands the the inner workings of Klayout better.

@Matthias Köfferlein can you help?

@Krzysztof Herman Can you help on this?

@Boris Murmann @Harald Pretl please try to run klayout using this command

KLAYOUT_HOME= <your_location>/IHP-Open-PDK/ihp-sg13g2/libs.tech/klayout klayout -e

Thank you @Krzysztof Herman, this solves the problem. @Harald Pretl, would be good to set

KLAYOUT_HOME=$PDKPATH/libs.tech/klayout

in the container.

@Boris Murmann I’ll add this setting.
