[Python] RuntimeError: You're likely running Python from the parent directory of the sam2...

Is there documentation available for Flask integration?

I have installed SAM2 in my Flask app, but I am unable to import it.

What I am trying to do is load a fine-tuned model, specifically the sam2-small model, into my Flask app.

However, I keep encountering the following error:

RuntimeError: You're likely running Python from the parent directory of the SAM2 repository (i.e., the directory where https://github.com/facebookresearch/sam2 is cloned). This is not supported because the SAM2 Python package could be shadowed by the repository name (the repository is also named SAM2 and contains the Python package in `sam2/sam2`). Please run Python from another directory (e.g., from the repository directory rather than its parent directory, or from your home directory) after installing SAM2.


Can anyone help me with this issue?

Update: output for os.getcwd() : /home/username/proejcts/project_name for os.path.exists("sam2") : True

Error:

RuntimeError: You're likely running Python from the parent directory of the sam2 repository (i.e. the directory where https://github.com/facebookresearch/sam2 is cloned into). This is not supported since the `sam2` Python package could be shadowed by the repository name (the repository is also named `sam2` and contains the Python package in `sam2/sam2`). Please run Python from another directory (e.g. from the repo dir rather than its parent dir, or from your home directory) after installing SAM 2.
