You’re probably trying to run this from inside the chipwhisperer python folder. Move to one outside the python module and it should work.

What does python -c "import os; print(os.getcwd())" print?

EDIT: Oh sorry, do you mean that you don’t get any output from that command? That’s expected and means the import succeeded.
