not installing correctly on MacOS with python 3.11

[UnexpectedMaker]

I followed the instructions in the install section, but when I try to run cpshell I get the following...

seon@seon-m2-max-studio cp-shell % cpshell
No module named 'cpshell.commands'
Traceback (most recent call last):

Thanks for the error-report. Since I neither have a Mac, nor a python 3.11 installation, It is hard to tell for me what the problem is.

Could you try to switch to the cloned directory and directly run

python3 -m cpshell.main

While python3 -m cpshell.main gets me further, it's not connecting to any board I plug in that has a serial port.

seon@seons-m2-max-mbp-2 cp-shell % python3 -m cpshell.main connect /dev/cu.usbmodem101

No boards connected - use the connect command to add one

/Users/seon/cp-shell>
seon@seons-m2-max-mbp-2 cp-shell % 

Here's the same port with mpremote:

seon@seons-m2-max-mbp-2 cp-shell % mpremote connect /dev/cu.usbmodem101 
Connected to MicroPython at /dev/cu.usbmodem101
Use Ctrl-] or Ctrl-x to exit this shell

Auto-reload is on. Simply save files over USB to run them or enter REPL to disable.

Hm... Try running:

python3 -m cpshell.main -d
connect /dev/cu.usbmodem101

(the second command is from within the cpshell). Even if your invocation would work, it would just start cpshell, do the connect and then finish again.

Alternatively, try

python3 -m cpshell.main -d -p /dev/cu.usbmodem101

You can also pass the -w wait-time-in-seconds option (I never needed that). And it will fail if any other program uses the serial line (sometimes happens to me if I keep my terminal program open).
