EPW Map in Ladybug is not opening any website - ladybug 1.4

Hello,
I just installed Ladybug 1.4 and EPW Map in Ladybug is not opening any website. Can someone please help me ?
Thanks in advance

Hi @Merna, you should be more specific about the problem. Can you open it directly in the browser?

It works fine on my end.

Thank you so much. I uninstalled it and install the pollination and it worked fine.

I’m having a problem with the LB EPWmap component on MAC…It won’t open the website…

I can open the website manually in a browser, but not using the component.

Any thoughts?

hi @Anderssmith

That is true, this component does not work on MacOS, since it is using the ‘older’ IronPython components.

The actual command in the GH-Component:

url = 'http://www.ladybug.tools/epwmap/'
def mac_open(url):
    os.system("open \"\" " + url)

works just fine on MacOS when run outside Rhino, or when run in a ‘new’ Python3 component. But when used in the IronPython component, it does not work.

So, on MacOS, I think your best bet is to just navigate to the website manually.

best,
@edpmay

Thanks @edpmay ,
I just found a Python 3 solution that works on both mac and windows
