No Python 3 engine found on MacOS

[tonydunn]

I removed the Universal installation, and dropped in the Intel version of Python, but Cuda could not find the Library again, even after searching from /Library/Frameworks. I looked down the directory tree and found this:

/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/lib/libpython3.9.dylib

Changed "pylib_mac" in user.json to point at this file, and it works fine. The dylib file above is symlinked (like the Universal installation) back to 'Python' in directory /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current - still not sure why, or why it causes the problem I have had with finding the Python library.

The Options Editor in Cuda was insisting that the path to search was for Python 3.6 and I could not change it in there, but entering the above path for the dylib file by hand in user.json has fixed it I think (the Plugins menu is now populated and Cuda starts without any issues).

Now I can get on learning how to use Cuda, and maybe be productive!

Thanks for all the help

Options Editor has 3.6 as only an example path (for 3.6), ie default value. you can change it to anything. you just mis-used the OptionEditor UI - enter any value and press ENTER. then OK button.
