Fatal Python error: PyThreadState_Get: no current thread

[Doweig]

Hello there, I hope you are having a great day.

So I can't get it to be running on my machine, looking on the internet it looks like a python version mismatch, like the python version used to compiled is different than the one executing, but that's not the case. I check every step of the way I'm always using 2.7, stil can't get it too work. Any idea on what to do from there?

Many thanks in advance :D

Hi, Are you on a Mac machine? The pre-built wally binaries are only available for python 3.6 on mac, it seems that the 2.7 wally built from source is not working.

Please nuke the venv and try with python 3.6.

No response and we now have wally binary installs which should fix binary build incompatibilities, closing.
