when running the OM1 project on a fresh GitHub codespace, the system throws an ImportError for vlm_coco_local, even though no such module exists in the repo. clearing pycache and reinstalling dependencies doesn’t fix it.
to reproduce:
- clone the OM1 repo into a new GitHub Codespace
- run uv sync
- run uv run src/run.py spot
expected behavior:
the script should initialize the robot simulation (spot agent) without errors, skipping unavailable VLM modules if missing.

system information
• OS: GitHub Codespaces (Ubuntu 22.04, hosted on macOS M1 laptop)
• python version: 3.10
• environment: uv virtual environment
additional context:
the import seems to originate from a compiled cache file under src/inputs/plugins/pycache/vlm_coco_local.cpython-310.pyc. removing caches doesn’t prevent the error.
potential fix: add a conditional import to handle missing local model modules gracefully.
