Addons/Python Issue

Hi everyone!
I just opened Glyphs2, I was trying to do some exercise on the Terminal, but, it says
“The modules could not be installed, Could not load the modules.”
I’m currently working on Python 2.7.18, but, on the other hand, I have Python 3.11.6 on Glyphs3. I’m not sure if this generates any problem between them, but, just to provide more information!

Thank you in advance!


Have you read this: Glyphs 2 on Monterey | Glyphs

I have exactly the same issue,
migrating all of my work to new apple silicon M3 MBP
Installing Glyphs3 and Glyphs2
followed all instructions here Glyphs 2 on Monterey | Glyphs word for word
the only problem I faced is failing to install modules for Glyphs2.
I used python2 -m pip install “pyobjc<=8.4”
then ‘pip list’ to find out the installed version; the result consistently indicates that 5.3 is the installed version.
python 2.7.18
restarting app /or restarting system is always applied.

please help

Can you try python2 -m pip install "pyobjc==8.4"

an error

PyObjC 8.4 does not appear to be available on the python package index site any longer. It is available on the maintainer’s github site though, and the Zip file contains an install.py script.

In the docs I also found this, which may be pertinent:
Note: Pip will install PyObjC 5 for users of Python 2.7, but only when using pip 9 or later.

thanks for your remarks! I have downloaded the desired package.

how-to manually install this package?
This link gives instructions i couldn’t well understand.

After the download finishes, unzip it in the location of your choice on your computer. Inside the unzipped folder at the bottom of the list is a readme file. It contains the install instructions for installing pyobjc 8.4. The script it references is in the same folder at the top.
