Error when trying to open a scripting shell

Hi all,

So, I'm getting this error whenever I try to open a scripting shell:

Code: Select all
Nov 11, 2018 at 11:29:52 AM
   Interactive Shell Error         Error in plugin execution InitializeMain:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Library/Application Support/Perceptive Automation/Indigo 7.2/IndigoPluginHost.app/Contents/Resources/PlugIns/plugin_base.py", line 9, in <module>
  File "/usr/local/Cellar/python@2/2.7.15_1/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/logging/__init__.py", line 26, in <module>
  File "/usr/local/Cellar/python@2/2.7.15_1/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/weakref.py", line 14, in <module>
ImportError: cannot import name _remove_dead_weakref


I use the shell quite often, but can't remember if I've even tried since I upgraded to 7.2.

Any thoughts on how to address this?

thanx!

Re: Error when trying to open a scripting shell

You've got a non-Apple version of Python installed in /usr/local/Cellar/python@2. Get rid of it. Indigo only supports using the Apple installed version of Python.

Re: Error when trying to open a scripting shell

Awww.. I didn't even think of that. Thanks FD! I use brew to install apps, and had installed python@2 for some testing I was doing. I simply ran

Code: Select all
brew unlink python@2


and all is well in Indigo land now :-)

Didn't even notice the path in the error I posted. :-)

thanx again!
