[YuanxunLu]

same problem. Have you solved it?

[minygd]

Me too. The solution is deadly needed!

[minygd]

I have fixed this. Just make sure uninstall every pkgs/pip downloads/conda downloads of OpenEXR.
And then use pip --no-cache-dir install OpenEXR instead to avoid downloading the former pkgs.

[humayun]

I tried but it didn't fixed same error for me. Below is my screen shot:

@humayun did you uninstall it also from conda? (conda remove openexr)

[humayun]

Yes, I did uninstall it from Conda and PIP.

On MacOS with the same python version I hit similar errors and everything worked when installing with this command: pip install git+https://github.com/jamesbowman/openexrpython.git

Have you solved this problem

[humayun]

It is working with Python 2.* on Ubuntu machine.

pip install OpenEXR

[Shreeyak]

I'm also getting this error. Not able to resolve it. Tried removing conda+pip packages and installing with:

pip install git+https://github.com/jamesbowman/openexrpython.git

Also tried:

pip --no-cache-dir install OpenEXR

I have openexr system package installed:

$ sudo apt-get install -y openexr
...
openexr is already the newest version (2.2.0-11.1ubuntu1.2).
