Debugger is not working on OSX 10.12.3 with QT 5.9 and QT Creator 4.4.1

Hello,

the debugger is not working on osx. Neither for a desktop application or for a ios application. When i try to run the debugger i got the following error:

eERROR: Lldb stderr: Traceback (most recent call last):
e  File "<input>", line 1, in <module>
e  File "/usr/local/opt/python/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/copy.py", line 52, in <module>

Has someone an idea maybe?

Okay so I downgraded to QT 5.7 but still with QTCreator 4.4.1 and now it works (also on IOS) :/. This is very strange because I actually thought it is probably a problem with QT Creator.

Okay, so that doesn't be the fix :P. It works randomly. Sometimes I can bring back to run when I restart my laptop but that doesn't work every time like it seems. The debugger works as long as I don't restart Qt Creator or it has a total crash.

I have the same problem on High Sierra.
Managed to fix some on the lldb error by creating a .lldbinit file with the missing import (ex: script import sys) but i'm stuck at the _remove_dead_weakref error.
