Does anyone know how to fix a "(no such file), '/System/Library/Carbon.framework/Carbon' (no such file, not in dyld cache)" error?

[Dima-369]

This happens on a M1 macOS 14.0.

test.py

import rumps

class BarApp(rumps.App):
    @rumps.clicked("Test")
    def test(self, _):
        rumps.alert("Now click BarApp twice, then click OK.\nResult: segfault")

BarApp("BarApp").run()

setup.py

from setuptools import setup

APP = ['test.py']
DATA_FILES = []
OPTIONS = {
    'argv_emulation': True,
    'plist': {
        'LSUIElement': True,
    },
    'packages': ['rumps'],
}

setup(
    app=APP,
    data_files=DATA_FILES,
    options={'py2app': OPTIONS},
    setup_requires=['py2app'],
)

The error

~/rumps test/dist/test.app/Contents/MacOS $ ./test

Same here for M2.

@Dima-369 @jksmx I fixed the issue. Here is my setup.py. Please make sure that 'argv_emulation' is False as shown below and DATA_FILES must be list[tuple[str, list[str]]].

This is my Hamster project. Hope I saved your day :)

APP = ['hamster/__main__.py']
APP_NAME = 'Hamster'
DATA_FILES = [('', ['hamster/app.properties']), ('img', ['hamster/img/hamster.png'])]
OPTIONS = {
    'argv_emulation': False,
    'iconfile': 'hamster/img/hamster.png',
    'plist': {
        'LSUIElement': True,
    },
    'packages': ['rumps', 'configparser', 'plistlib', 'os', 're', 'pathlib', 'psutil'],
}

Please make sure that 'argv_emulation' is False

Cool, this also works for me. Thanks 🙂
