Problem with tkinter on x86 macOS after bundling

[PaulleDemon]

All the build I bundled with my electron app works except for the mac x84 python build. The python itself works but when trying to use this to execute tkinter related scripts it fails with the following

Illegal instruction: 4

I have tried on windows, mac arm and linux, the python build works correctly and is able to execute tkinter scripts. But this failure happens only on the intel mac chips. Any solution to this problem?

How are you bundling it?

@zanieb Using electron builder. Below is the part of pakcakge.json for mac. I am currently using the 3.12.11 version of the latest release.

"mac": {
      "target": "dmg",
      "category": "public.app-category.developer-tools",
      "hardenedRuntime": true,
      "entitlements": "entitlements-mac/entitlements.mac.plist",
      "entitlementsInherit": "entitlements-mac/entitlements.mac.plist",
      "gatekeeperAssess": false,
      "extraResources": [
         {
            "from": "resources/python/mac-${arch}",
            "to": "python/mac-${arch}",
            "filter": ["**/*"]
          }
      ]
    },

The pacakging seems to work correctly. The python is able to execute every other script that doesn't have tkinter in it. This problem arises only when I introduce the tkinter in my python script

And can you confirm you're on the latest python-build-standalone version?

[PaulleDemon]

Hi @zanieb yes I am on the latest build, that was made for tkinter

I just tried python standalone 3.13, it still seems to fail on intel based mac
