When launched from a Python session, OpenMaple for Python requires some environment settings.
|
|
•
|
The environment variable MAPLE must be set to the value <MAPLEDIR>, where <MAPLEDIR> is the base directory of the Maple installation. This directory may be queried Maple using kernelopts( mapledir ).
|

|
native library. This native library provides the link between Maple and Python. The maple package automatically loads the required library; however, it needs to be told where to find this library.
|
|
•
|
By default, the native library is installed in the Maple binary directory. To determine this location, call kernelopts( bindir ).
|
|
•
|
The directory that Maple is installed in can be found by calling kernelopts( mapledir ).
|
|
>
|
kernelopts( mapledir );
|
|
| (1) |
In the following sections we will refer to this directory as <MAPLEDIR>. Different platforms and installation locations will effect this directory, so you should call kernelopts( mapledir ) to determine the correct location on your machine.
|
| (2) |
Different platforms and installation locations will effect the directory you need to use, so you should call kernelopts( bindir ) to determine the correct location. We will refer to this directory as <BINDIR> in the following examples.
|
•
|
To tell the Python Virtual Machine to look in this directory, you need to add <BINDIR> to a platform specific environment variable. In addition on macOS and Linux, the MAPLE environment variable needs to be set to the value <MAPLEDIR> we defined above.
|
|
Windows
|
|
|
•
|
In Windows, you need to add <BINDIR> to the PATH environment variable
|
|
|
|
Linux
|
|
|
•
|
On Linux, you need to add at least <BINDIR> to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable and set the MAPLE environment variable. For a complete list of directories to add, run getenv(LD_LIBRARY_PATH); in Maple and use that exact value.
|
|
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:<BINDIR>"
|
|
export MAPLE="<MAPLEDIR>"
|
|
|
|
|
|
macOS
|
|
|
•
|
On macOS, you need to add at least <BINDIR> to the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable and set the MAPLE environment variable. For a complete list of directories to add, run getenv(DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH); in Maple and use that exact value.
|
|
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH:<BINDIR>"
|
|
export MAPLE="<MAPLEDIR>"

Before beginning development of a OpenMaple for Python application, ensure that the simple example from the examples page can be executed.
