problem running pyside6-deploy

[IvanVM]

Hi, I made an ap using the Qt Creator IDE on a MacOs M2. When trying to deploy it it gives me this error. I have tried using a version of CPython but it keeps giving errors and I don't know what the problem is. (venv) name@MacBook-Pro miApp % pyside6-deploy main.py

FATAL: Error, for standalone mode, Apple Python from macOS is not supported, use e.g. CPython instead.
[DEPLOY] Exception occurred: Traceback (most recent call last):

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Hi and welcome to devnet,

One thing you can do is use something like conda to create a virtual environment and a non system Python. You can also use brew to install other Python versions and use virtual env with them.

@IvanVM said in problem running pyside6-deploy:

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Library/Frameworks/Python3.framework/

Hey,

Unfortunately /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Library/Frameworks/Python3.framework/ is considered to be Apple Python by Nuitka.

I suggest download Python from the official website and use it - eg: https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3118/.
Note: If you use a venv, don't create the venv in the application directory as pyside6-deploy will try to package the venv as well resulting in errors.
