FBX Python SDK for Python 3.9

[hansgodard]

Hello!

I'm using Maya 2023 and Unreal Engine 5 which both are using Python 3.9

But I can't find the SDK here :   https://www.autodesk.com/developer-network/platform-technologies/fbx-sdk-2020-3

If you install it for Windows,  it is compiled until Python 3.7 only
Please compile it !

Hi guys,

I am trying to deploy a web app on Vercel that uses the Python FBX SDK as a dependency. The current wheel on offer by Autodesk is of course the Python 3.10 version. Vercel, unfortunately, only runs Python 3.12 and can also run Python 3.9.

From @hansgodard, I was able to download the 3.9 files. Are these bindings, or the Python FBX SDK itself? If I'm not entirely wrong, I should be able to package some or all of the included files as a wheel, which i can then add to my project and list in my requirements.txt file.

Two questions:

1. Will the "bindings" work on their own without the C++ package? I don't fully understand bindings.
2. Any help on how to properly build the 3.9 wheel from the provided files would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Edit:

I download a 3.9 wheel from here: https://gitlab.inria.fr/api/v4/projects/18692/packages/pypi/simple/fbxsdkpy

Testing now.

No, we are still on Python 3.10.

I see. Thank you for your reply

Sorry to bump this thread again, but we could really do with the FBX SDK for Python 3.11 (fbx.cp311-win_amd64.pyd) but I've not been able to find it yet, and have literally no idea how to go about compiling code. Does anyone have a link to get this yet?

I will bump this thread again, the python 3.11 sdk doesn't seem to be released more than 8 months later. Autodesk ships applications with python 3.11, I'm trying to get the SDK to work within a Motion Builder 2025 environment and pulling my hair out as always. Why is there such poor support within your own applications for a standard you created?!

I can help, can you reach out on Linkedin,  thx

The link provided by @claytonsrobot actually has the py311 version of the sdk, life saver

Why this sdk is hiding at the bottom of the internet rather than being provided by Autodesk is beyond me
