Problem with configuring python to use the SNAP-Python interface on a Mac

[marpet]

I’m not sure, but I think this could be related to the problem reported here:

Snappy-conf snappyutil.py error: jvm_max_mem undefined

I also hit this error, and suspected an outdated snappyutil.py so I googled snappyutil.py and found snappyutil.py with jvm-max-mem. This version has: $ grep 'jvm_max_mem' ~/.snap/snap-python/snappy/snappyutil.py jvm_max_mem=None, :param jvm_max_mem: The heap size of the JVM. 'java_max_mem: %s\n' % jvm_max_mem, parser.add_argument('--jvm_max_mem', default='3G', help='size of the Java VM heap space') jvm_max_mem=args.…

I assume that you are using SNAP 5 and have updated the modules already.
There is an issue in the configuration script in snap-python 5.0.
You can work around if you use the current SNAP 6 preview version. There this issue is fixed.
Or you make a clean install of SNAP 5 and configure python before updating the modules. But I would suggest using the preview version.

Also, the content of the snappyutil.log file might be helpful here.
