Use Display_manager with Monterey

[Badsheep]

Hello,

Did anyone managed to make it work with Monterey (or higher OS?).
Since I upgraded my OS this is broken, due to the abandoned Python 2.

I downloaded the files display_manager.py and display_manager_lib.py, they seem to be upgraded in Python 3 as it's written "#!/usr/bin/env python3" in the beginning of the files. But I don't know where to copy it, and how to make it work.

If anybody did : thank for your help !

(And many thanks for the developers of this application, it was useful for me for many years !)

Hi!

I've been using display_manager_lib.py in Python 3 within my own module without the need of adjusting anything else. I mean, it should work in Python 3 out-of-the-box. Nevertheless, I found some issues which, in my case, were not related to Python 3, but to macOS itself. Check this issue for more info.

Besides, how are you using this code? Are you using the GUI or are you embedding these libraries within a project of yours? Can you please provide more details?

Hi ! Thanks for your message, I just want to use display_manager.py with bash command lines. When I open thé lasts versions (in python 3 I guess), I’ve got an error message telling me it can’t find « objC »… I guess it can’t find some mac os libraries ?

Hi! It seems to me that you need to install some python dependencies first.

Try:
python3 -m pip install pyobjc

(Maybe you have to replace python3 command by just python. You may also need to install pip on your current python installation before using the command above)

Sorry. Try this one

Ok thanks for your help ! I can’t test it now but I will as soon as possible and I’ll let you know !

I can confirm that installing pyobjc via pip works for the newer versions of macOS where python3 is the default. I have opened a PR #36 that updates the README.md with info on this requirement.
