Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: macOS 14.3.1 (M1)

Additional context
Tried reinstalling Python 3.12.2, 3.12.1 and 3.12.0 but issue remains.

[iceman1001]

There was the same issue raised on the pm3 homebrew GH repo where was found to be related to 3.12.
The current solution is to force python3 v3.11 dependency.

For OSx feel free to find a solution since we don't use it.

[skorokithakis]

I managed to compile with the following:

brew install python@3.11

It works (pm3 starts up, anyway, I didn't try to connect) after that.

[AppleTechy]

I ended up just compiling by running brew unlink python which reverted back to python 3.9.x that ships with MacOS. I was then able to successfully run the compile (brew install proxmark3) and then run brew link python to re- link to python 3.12.x

[philicious]

works with cmake ./client & make -j
