meson.build:2027:0: ERROR: Unhandled python exception

    This is a Meson bug and should be reported!

Both the Windows MSI and the macOS dmg are supposed to be fixed by #10230, are you absolutely sure you are using 0.62.1 and not 0.62.0 instead?

[mjakeman]

This seems to be fixed in 0.62.2.

I'm able to reproduce this on ARM Monterey (12.4) using the pkg installer for 0.62.1. If I switch to using meson 0.62.2 installed from either homebrew or pip (as there doesn't seem to be an installer available?) then I don't encounter this issue on the same codebase.

I'm seeing the same behavior on Intel Big Sur (11.6.5) after using the 0.63.0 installer. The stack trace is also the same modulo some tiny differences in line numbers:

[eli-schwartz]

I'd be pretty interested to see what the embedded contents of the pyinstaller frozen executable are, particularly with regard to mesonbuild.dependencies. Unfortunately, I don't have a macOS machine to experiment with.
