Importing Yade in other Python applications

Hi,

Did you compile yade using python3 version?

According to this line :

  print 'Yade version: %s%s'%(version,debugbuild)

it seems not.

William is partially right, but it looks like you compiled yade version 2019.01a (judging by your filepath name), which does not include python3. You should compile the latest master branch on trunk [1] to get python3 functionality (or any commit past April-ish of 2019, when François finished the python3 migration).
