'GLXPlatform' object has no attribute 'OSMesa'

Question

I am testing whether OSMesa functions properly, but I encountered the following error. How can this error be resolved?

The full error message:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

      4 ctx = osmesa.OSMesaCreateContext(osmesa.OSMESA_RGBA, None)
      5 if ctx:

     11         error_checker=None
     12     )

AttributeError: 'GLXPlatform' object has no attribute 'OSMesa'

Minimal reproducible example:

from OpenGL import osmesa

ctx = osmesa.OSMesaCreateContext(osmesa.OSMESA_RGBA, None)

My environment as follows:

pyrender==0.1.45
OpenGL==3.1.0

To resolve this, the environment variable PYOPENGL_PLATFORM should be set to osmesa before importing pyrender. The pyrender documentation suggests to do this either in the shell when executing the program:

PYOPENGL_PLATFORM=osmesa python render.py

or by adding the following lines at the top of the program:

import os
os.environ["PYOPENGL_PLATFORM"] = "osmesa"

Otherwise, it is as the error indicates: the GLX platform doesn't provide OSMesa functionality.

Full code example:

import os
os.environ["PYOPENGL_PLATFORM"] = "osmesa"

from OpenGL import osmesa

ctx = osmesa.OSMesaCreateContext(osmesa.OSMESA_RGBA, None)

if ctx:
    print("OSMesa is working correctly")
