Accessing adsk and sub libraries from command line

[scott.nortman]

How can I get access to the Fusion adsk libraries when I have a Python terminal open from a command prompt?

Ie, when I call

>>> import adsk.core
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'adsk'
>>>

are you sure you run the python which comes with the Fusion 360 environment?

I am running PyCharm with Fusion 360 plugin. If set up correctly it opens python console where importing adsk is not a problem.

Yes, I am running the python.exe from the Fusion 360 install folder.

I previously did have other installations of Python that I removed via "add / remove programs" ; perhaps my site-packages is set up wrong?

sorry may be stupid questions:

... are sure that you took the last one?

... are aware the installation folder changes at every update/deployment?

try this at your python console

>import sys

>sys.executable 

... this shows you which python.exe are you using

if you have windows PC (I can't help with Mac)

the adsk are in

your_deployment_folder\\Api\\Python\\packages\\adsk\...

python.exe is in 

your_deployment_folder\\Python

depolyment folders name is logn alphanumeric string
