Only import sionna and mitsuba work on Mac and on Arm N1, mitsuba is not even compiling.

[GayathriNarayana19]

Hello world program from sionna/examples gave the following error on Mac

ValueError: Only input tensors may be passed as positional arguments. The following argument value should be passed as a keyword argument: 1000 (of type <class 'int'>)

Detailed issue explained in comments below. Kindly help.

Mac:

try:
    import sionna
    print("sionna imported successfully")
except ImportError:
    print("Failed to import sionna")

try:
    import mitsuba
    print("mitsuba imported successfully")
except ImportError:
    print("Failed to import mitsuba")

sionna imported successfully
mitsuba imported successfully
constellation = sionna.mapping.Constellation("qam", 8)
print(constellation)
<Constellation name=constellation_5, built=False>

I tried on my Mac. I was able to install Sionna and Mitsuba. And, import statements were also working as you can see above.
I tried using an attribute "mapping" of sionna to check if it works. It worked and printed the constellation name as you can see above. But surprisingly, other attributes of sionna like "scene" doesn't work.
I have the right pip and python version though.

pip3 --version
pip 24.0 from /opt/homebrew/lib/python3.12/site-packages/pip (python 3.12)

ARM

On Arm, mitsuba installation using pip is not supported. There are no proper platform supportive .whl files to build mitsuba3 from source, I believe. Because build is not successful on Arm. So even importing mitsuba is not successful on Arm but it works on Mac.

These issues were not faced on x86.

Hello @GayathriNarayana19,

Mac

Could you please report specific error messages for the problem you are encountering?
Ideally, when running one of the built-in examples or tutorial notebooks.

ARM

As far as I am aware, we have not validated Sionna on Arm N1. However, the error message that you shared is in Keras.
Is it possible that the Kheras or Tensorflow version that you tested with on Arm is not part of the supported versions?
