SwissEph file 'seas_18.se1' not found in PATH '.:/users/ephe2/:/users/ephe/'

See original GitHub issue

I’m trying to create a chart object with IDs=const.LIST_OBJECTS parameter like: chart = Chart(date, pos, IDs=const.LIST_OBJECTS)

It doesn’t work, giving:

Exception Type: Error Exception Value: SwissEph file 'seas_18.se1' not found in PATH '.:/users/ephe2/:/users/ephe/'

But the file seas_18.se1 is located at flatlib/resources.

Any idea? Is that a bug?

With for example: chart = Chart(date, pos, IDs=const.LIST_OBJECTS_TRADITIONAL) or chart = Chart(date, pos, IDs=const.LIST_SEVEN_PLANETS)

it is indeed working

I fixed it with

import swisseph as swe
swe.set_ephe_path('/usr/local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/flatlib/resources/swefiles')
chart = Chart(date, pos, IDs=const.LIST_OBJECTS, hsys=const.HOUSES_PLACIDUS)

Note that the path is derived from my docker environment, probably you will need to fix with your path files
