May not work on Arm Macs

[daniel-keitel]

It should, but it may not.

Would be great if someone could test it and give feedback.

It works for me on an M1 with Python 3.9 in a miniforge3 conda environment.

The only caveat is that pip stalls while trying to install PyQt5, which I could work around by building and installing it manually. As that seems to be an issue with the dependency (or my setup), I'd say that's not a problem for now.

More details: The problem seems to be that there is no wheel for the ARM architecture and building from source hangs in a dialogue that pip doesn't allow me to confirm...

 $ pip -v install PyQt5                                                                                                                                 [±dev ●●]

Great to know that it "works".
Did you run it with the compatibility layer or, without it?

[simonschwaer]

Without Rosetta, so everything is running on ARM directly.

[daniel-keitel]

Could you try it with Rosetta?
If you try, douse your other Issue #3 go away?
