Missing python module

1

Hi,
I have been trying to use one of mekkablue’s Anchor scripts. On the console I see that an error is thrown:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "runMacroFile", line 1, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'objc'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "NULL", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'os' is not defined
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/rommel/Library/Application Support/Glyphs 3/Repositories/mekkablue/Anchors/Remove Non-Standard Anchors from Selected Glyphs.py", line 8, in <module>
    import vanilla
  File "/Users/rommel/Library/Application Support/Glyphs 3/Scripts/vanilla/__init__.py", line 1, in <module>
    from vanilla.vanillaBase import VanillaBaseObject, VanillaBaseControl, VanillaError
  File "/Users/rommel/Library/Application Support/Glyphs 3/Scripts/vanilla/vanillaBase.py", line 2, in <module>
    from objc import super
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'objc'

I usually use an own managed python version, but that is not picked up:

> which python3
/Users/rommel/.local/share/mise/installs/python/latest/bin/python3
> python3 -V
Python 3.12.2
> /opt/homebrew/bin/python3 -V
Python 3.12.5
> /usr/bin/python3 -V
Python 3.9.6

Both are not used, Glyphs shows in “Settings” → “Addons”: python 3.11.9 (Homebrew)

I am on an apple silicon mac, so homebrew installs in /opt

I have no idea, where this python version comes from and where the modules should be installed. When I installed mekkablues scripts, it prompted me whether to install Vanilla as dependency, which I said yes to. It seems, the Vanilla dependencies are not installed.

I am hence looking where to install the objc module.

Can s.b. help out?

Thanks,

Michael.

You need to either use the python from the Plugin Manager or install pyobjc in you system python. Run this in the terminal.

pip3.11 install pyobjc
