Installing the dev version on mac osx

[ghost]

Hi,
I am trying to run the development version of pySolo on a Mac OSX. All the packages necessary for supporting pySolo are properly installed. However, I consistently seem to have an issue related to wxPython:

How would I go about resolving this problem? Thank you.

Hi, can you find out what version of wxPython you are running?

Hi,
I downloaded wxPython3.0-osx-cocoa-py2.7 from https://wxpython.org/download.php. It is one of the MacOSX binaries. Thank you for your help.

There is a file in the dev version called check_components.py
Can you please run that one and paste its output here?

Hi,
Yes, here is the output:

Thanks again for your help.

So, the problem is that you are using the "Phoenix" version of wxPythom which is not supported. You will have to replace it with the classic version (3.0.2). I believe the file you need can be found here https://sourceforge.net/projects/wxpython/files/wxPython/3.0.2.0/wxPython3.0-osx-3.0.2.0-cocoa-py2.7.dmg

Thank you! It all works fine and well now. I am going to post on here the Mac OSX-friendly wxPython download link I used, in case others also run into this problem:

How can wxpython classic version be downloaded in a virtualenvironment ? @ggilestro

I have not tested this and I have never used Mac so I may be very wrong about this but if you use anaconda it should be something like:

#create a new environment
conda env create -n pysolo

#activate the environment
conda activate pysolo

#install this or other deps
conda install wxpython=3.0.2.0

Something similar can also be done with pip.
