@aahnik @nmaiti @MobCode100 @FloPinguin @Matt3oV , I guess most of the mac users are facing the same issue, please look into the matter as soon as possible.

Same here, python3.12, neither downloaded .pkg, nor brew installed works

[shaotingchang]

In the same boat over here. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

same here: mac m1, windows 10. both have python 3.12

[nmaiti]

I'm not a python programmer!

These changes are temporary, and the explanations below are generated by ChatGPT to save time. Here's a step-by-step explanation:

1. Install vim and streamlit:

First, I installed vim, a text editor for editing Python files, and then installed the specific version of streamlit that I needed:

apt install vim
pip3 install streamlit==1.32

2. Get the location of the tgcf package:

To find out where the tgcf package is installed in the Python environment, I ran the following command:

pip3 show tgcf

This command provides detailed information about the tgcf package, including its installation path. Here's an example of the output you might see:

Name: tgcf
...
Location: /home/.venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages

The Location line shows the directory where tgcf is installed. You'll need this path to navigate to the web_ui directory in the next steps.

3. Navigate to the tgcf package directory:

After finding the tgcf package location, I navigated to the tgcf directory inside the virtual environment:

cd /home/.venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/tgcf
cd web_ui

4. Edit run.py:

I opened the run.py file inside the web_ui folder using vim to make the necessary changes:

vim run.py

4. Import tgcf:

Inside the run.py file, I added the following import at the top of the script to make the tgcf package accessible:

import tgcf as tg

5. Fix the resources.path line:

In the original code, there was an issue with accessing the package directory using resources.path. I changed this line:

package_dir = resources.path(package=tg, resource="").__enter__()

to a safer version that works by using a str() conversion. This is because resources.path returns a context manager, which needs to be handled properly. The updated line looks like this:

package_dir = str(package_dir) + "/web_ui"

This modification correctly defines the path to the web_ui directory within the tgcf package, which ensures everything works as expected.
