Can't open Pyzo on my Mac

[mygarec]

Hello!

I tried to install Pyzo on my MacMini 2014 (with 2,6GHz Intel Core i5 CPU) but when I start the program, he doesn't open and showed an error message :

(translate: pyzo has left unexpectedly ; Click on Relancer to reopen the application / Click Signaler to get more detalls
and send a report to Apple.)

I also tried to install with the .zip file but he said that the file is damaged :

(translate: "pyzo" is damaged and cannot be opened. You should move this item in the Recycle Bin. ; Chrome downloaded this file today at 14:55.)

I'm on MacOS Monterey (12.7.3 (21H1015)).

Thank you in advance for your help! Have a nice day!

Hi, thanks for reporting this! Reading this it could be related to the minimal os version required by Python or PySide. Although MacOS 12.7 is not that old ...

Another possibility is a bug in PySide. We had a somewhat similar report in #950.

My recommendation for now is to install Pyzo from source:

• Install Python3 with PySide6, PySide2, PyQt6 or PyQt5.
• pip install pyzo.
• Run pyzo using just pyzo or python -m pyzo.

I've just installed Pyzo from source and it works really well!
Thanks for your help!

Glad that it works!

Ideally, the binaries should just work too, but they don't always, apparently. Unfortunately, these issues are a pain to debug (because I cannot always reproduce them).
