I tried installing macports, and Pyside, Pyside2, etc. Already had and tried brew.

Can you confirm if you have python 2 or python 3 running on your Mac? Based on the title, I'm guessing python 3?

[andytriboletti]

I have both.

andytriboletti@andys-mbp ~ % python --version Python 2.7.17 andytriboletti@andys-mbp ~ % python3 --version Python 3.7.6

I never managed to get a python2 version running on my personal Mac due to Qt requirements. There is an outdated, unofficial (but still very usable!) python3 branch available here if you want to give it a try: https://github.com/mdsandell/usdmanager/tree/python3

I'll see if we can get any traction on an official python3 branch here, since I think that'll do the trick for you. PRs are always welcome if you do find a solution.

The only other thing I'd check is that your python path properly includes the PySide2 installation. Running "python" and trying that "import pyside2uic" line from a terminal should do the trick. If that doesn't work, but "import PySide2" does work, you may need to download pyside2uic separately from some place like https://github.com/pyside/pyside2-tools.

There's now an official python3 branch available. I'd recommend giving this a try.
