Unknown error: No such file: ./ver10/device/wsdl/devicemgmt.wsdl

I'm having this issue when instantiating a ONVIFCAMERA.

I installed python onvif zeep with
pip install --upgrade onvif_zeep on the ./venv of my project

if I run

mycam = ONVIFCamera(IP, PORT, USER, PASS)

I get the following error:

onvif2.exceptions.ONVIFError: Unknown error: No such file: /home/***/.venv/lib/python3.11/site-packages/wsdl/./ver10/device/wsdl/devicemgmt.wsdl

After looking around, I found another Lib inside my ./venv with capital L. The file devicemgmt.wsdl is inside this path, but the library seems to be adding this ./ver10/device/wsdl/devicemgmt.wsdl to the file path, that, to me, doesnt make sense.

The result changing the path to this directory is similtar:
mycam = ONVIFCamera(IP, PORT, USER, PASS, wsdl_dir = '/home/***/.venv/Lib/site-packages/wsdl/')

onvif2.exceptions.ONVIFError: Unknown error: No such file: /home/***/.venv/Lib/site-packages/wsdl/./ver10/device/wsdl/devicemgmt.wsdl

How do i handle this? I even tried on a windows 11 machine, and the same problem with the appended path is happening.

I'm seeing the same behavior. I am trying to use python-onvif-zeep in the context of this script: https://gist.githubusercontent.com/hawkeye217/152a1d4ba80760dac95d46e143d37112/raw/b40ff52c89cf8412dcf3be1635e2f549e36f135c/fovtest.py

probably i'm seeing the same, or something closely related.

i get this error when trying to:

while i do have this file (notice the superfluous /lib/python3.10/site-packages/ in the path in the error):
