How to deal with Janus on MacOS
It seems that dealing with the new Janus package is pretty much settled for Windows and Linux. On Windows we have the Python binary packages that provide the fairly version independent python3.dll
, so we can search %PATH%
for this and be happy. On Linux the packages take care of the dependencies and source installation is easy if you want something different.
On MacOS, I find on my machine Python frameworks in LibreOffice (3.8), Xcode (3.8 and 3.9), /Library
(3.9), Homebrew (3.9 and 3.10) and Macports (3.10).
I guess installation in Homebrew or Macports should be fine: just add a dependency on Python3 and the package manager should do its job. But, what about the binary we distribute? We can’t really tie it to a particular Python version, but there is no equivalent of python3.dll. LibreOffice including its own version of Python should of course work, but this can hardly be a good solution Suggestions?
