import xattr #92

Closed jredfox closed 3 years ago

jredfox commented 3 years ago

install instruction unclear. I installed python 3.9 with the latest release build. I ran 

C:\Users\jredf\Desktop\macadmin-scripts-main\installinstallmacos.py help

output

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\jredf\Desktop\macadmin-scripts-main\installinstallmacos.py", line 36, in <module>
    import xattr
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'xattr'

This tool is only supported with Apple's default Python and on macOS. If you want to use a different Python, you can, but that's on you to figure out and install all the needed dependencies. (like xattr).

It's definitely not supported on Windows.

you can only run the python on macOs when python is a cross platform language sounds like a bug to me
