Link between mediapipe and Touchdesigner

General TouchDesigner Discussion

Hi everyone !
I’m trying to run the python library ‘mediapipe’ into Touchdesigner.
I got some problem for the moment.
When i try this little piece of work :
" import cv2
import mediapipe as mp
mp_drawing = mp.solutions.drawing_utils"

i got as an answer :
“Traceback (most recent call last):
File “</base_mediapipe/text_template:op(‘/base_mediapipe/text_template’).run()>”, line 1
td.Error: File “/base_mediapipe/text_template”, line 3
AttributeError: module ‘mediapipe’ has no attribute ‘solutions’
Results of run operation resulted in exception.”

When i try this way :
“import cv2
import mediapipe
import mediapipe.python.solutions.drawing_utils”

i got this :
“Traceback (most recent call last):
File “</base_mediapipe/text_template:op(‘/base_mediapipe/text_template’).run()>”, line 1
td.Error: File “/base_mediapipe/text_template”, line 3
r = previousimport(*args, **kw)
File “/Users/hugo/mediapipe/mediapipe/python/init.py”, line 17
from mediapipe.python._framework_bindings import resource_util
r = previousimport(*args, **kw)
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘mediapipe.python._framework_bindings’”

if anyone already succed to work with mediapipe, i would enjoy some advice to go forward.
thank you

Have you achieved any solution?

I’ve seen your posts at github issues page too. I’m out of clues what to do to get this full functional at TD

Anyone get anywhere with this. I think I managed to follow / translate these instructions over from Chung’s MacOs instructions to Windows11. Although I cannot get TD to correctly import mediapipe.

I downloaded latest version of Python to my PATH, so its in my AppData-Local-Programs area.
Then used CMD prompt to install mediapipe.
Then I linked Touchdesigner to the ‘site-packages’ folder, but I cannot get it to import mediapipe.
error No module named 'mediapipe.python._framework_bindings

I tried referencing the instructions on the mediapipe page, but don’t understand it.

I’d appreciate any help as I my last webcam based hand tracker has become obsolete.
chung’s macOS install
mediapipe python install instructions
