Using jetson-utils and jetson-inference in python

Hey there! I am trying to install and be able to use jetson_utils from source in python. I want to be able to use the hardware accelerator and the videoSource functions. I am running jetpack 7.2 with python 3.12 on an nvidia jetson orin nano dev kit module. I was able to build jetson-inference from source and it shows that I can import the module in python but there is nothing with the module. I can only make it print out the version and that is about it. I followed the guide for installing from source. Is there something I did wrong? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Please confirm that you are using Nsight Python (Nsight Python — nsight-python).

Can you please share more details - such as:

  • Nsight Python version used
  • command line used and output shown in the console
  • python code used

Did you try any of the Nsight Python examples?

I don’t think I am using Nsight-python. Am I supposed to? I am just running normal python 3.12 in vs code currently. The problem is that there is no code to show you like I cannot use the package. It just imports and only lets me print the version, doesn’t seem to have real bindings

You need not use Nsight Python. I was confused since the forum category was incorrect.

Yes sorry that was my bad. Was searching for just python
