@xlla apologies - missed this one. I've had no issues running the map and console on macOS Monterey (M1 and Intel). It's most likely a missing dependency, partial install, or previous install that has not been removed or updated correctly.

I would use pip install -U MAVProxy rather than setup.py tools as the former will also install dependencies. The variable __spec__ relates to the import system (https://docs.python.org/3/reference/import.html#module-spec), which suggests a failed import or missing module may be the cause.

Closing as unable to replicate and no activity.

I have exactly same problem. I'm following instruction from developing on linux: https://ardupilot.org/mavproxy/docs/development/mavdevenvlinux.html

pip uninstall MAVProxy
git clone https://github.com/ArduPilot/MAVProxy.git
python setup.py build install

I have omitted --user because I'm using venv. I use PyCharm and Python 3.11.
There is no problem with console and map when use version from pip with same venv but it has this __spec__ issue in dev version. I can't understand why this happening. I faced with this issue trying to solve another issue with pygame and joystick support in MacOS #1276 ← also have exactly same problem

Hi @hellvesper, this issue is closed as MAVProxy is verified to install on macOS using Python 3.11.

As mentioned in the comment above (#1060 (comment)) you shouldn't use python setup.py build install, but prefer python -m pip install -U .. If that is still not working then we can reopen.
