Feel free to close if inappropriate since this is a support request rather than a bug report!

I've made a Python package for polling a popular CO2/temp/pressure/humidity monitor that runs great in Terminal but errors out when run via xbar. I've tried freezing it into a static PyInstaller executable with exactly the same outcome. The script outputs a single number to stdout.

The error is shown below. Does anyone have any tips for troubleshooting?

Ok, I needed to add xbar to the bluetooth panel in sys prefs. Case closed!
