Mopidy fails to install on OSX

[stormtroopa]

Hi! I hope smd. might help me with the installation.
I am trying to install mopidy on a fresh OSX 10.15.5.

I followed the installation guide on: https://docs.mopidy.com/en/latest/installation/macos/#install-from-homebrew

But sadly it fails. Please see the output below. Any idea what might cause the problem?

I managed to install mopidy on my other MAC. There was another problem which could be solved by installing python-object manually.
The mopidy installation was successful but it didn't start:

I had to run pip3 install PyGObject afterwards to get mopidy running

I'm seeing the same problem. I'm using Mac OS 10.14.6.

Any idea how to get past this?

[dmorais0]

@paulproteus solved this issue for me by suggesting I simply run:

• /usr/local/opt/[email protected]/bin/python3 -m ensurepip
• /usr/local/opt/[email protected]/bin/python3 -m pip install -U setuptools

And now mopidy appears to be installed :-).

[rynjms]

FWIW, none of the other suggested solutions in this issue worked for me on Monterey with a fresh install of Homebrew.

It appears that Homebrew's Python 3.9 omits the symlink named python3 in /usr/local/opt/[email protected]/bin. I did a brew postinstall [email protected] but it didn't add it. (Maybe it's just inconsistent between Python versions -- 3.10 has it, and it looks like from the previous comment 3.8 does.)

The solution was to brew edit mopidy and change the line:

    python3 = Formula["[email protected]"].opt_bin/"python3"

to:

    python3 = Formula["[email protected]"].opt_bin/"python3.9"

Then a brew install mopidy completed successfully for me.

[tiefenauer]

I had the same issue and @rynjms ' solution worked for me

[jodal]

I'm not certain that the issues described here in 2020 and 2022 have the same root causes, but all the formulas in this tap has now been updated to use Python 3.11 instead of 3.9 and use the explicit Python version described by @rynjms above.

They all seem to work with the latest Homebrew on macOS 12.6.3, which is the latest macOS I can install on the only Mac I have available these days.

Please open new issues if you run into any problems.
