Hi Karim,

Your issue is mostly because of this mix of python versions in the same location. I would suggest you to try uninstalling both the versions (3.10 and 3.12) and then re-install the required 3.12. The install the nrfutil in that path too.

I understand that it's hectic, apologies, but the confusion in the paths is the problem.

Hi Priyanka,
I ran the command the output showed the path of the 2 python versions,

which version to unintsall ? 3.12 or 3.10 ?
If 3.12 is to be removed (As the nrfutil is not in its directory) then, I face the same issue that ends with

" File "\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\lib\ctypes\__init__.py", line 8, in <module>
ImportError: Module use of python312.dll conflicts with this version of Python."

and the python312.dll is inside the toolchain bin folder

Thanks,
Karim Osama

It looks like it's using the python installation outside the toolchain directory. Could you also try:

where nrfutil

where python

Basically they should both be in the same path, i.e. the python that's installed by your NCS toolchain should be the one that's being used.

If it's not, then please uninstall the python found in the "AppData/Local....." location. You can go to the control panel and uninstall it there. Then please try running. Because then the other Python might be used.

Hi Priyanka,
AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python312\python312.dll
Thanks

Hi Karim,

Maybe it could be because the nrfutil is using some other python version which might be created by the SDK. We can check if this is the case. Could you tell me what you get when you try:

where python312.dll

This will tell us the location of the python which is being used.

Issue us persistence before / after installing python 3.12
it seems the conflicted python312.dll is already in the toolchain folder 2.9.0

Hi Karim,

[quote user=""]Installed and uninstalled Python 3.12.[/quote]

When you installed the Python3.12 version, did you get the issue when flashing?
