Python 3.10 issue in Inkscape 1.4.3 on macOS
Summary:
After upgrading to 1.4.3 on macOS Tahoe, multiple extensions stopped working, including Text > Formula (pdflatex).
Steps to reproduce:
-
open Inkscape from the terminal (such that the PATH of texbin can be seen by inkscape);
-
Click Extension > Text > Formula (pdflatex);
-
Equation input;
-
Click "Apply".
-
Run the following command in terminal:
/Applications/Inkscape.app/Contents/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin/python3.10 --version
What happened?
If I use Inkscape 1.4.3, I get the following behavior:
-
If inkscape is launched from the terminal, clicking this button shows a window with a text box. Once you provide a LaTeX equation, and then click "Apply", nothing will happen.
-
The python command returns:
[1] 93061 killed /Applications/Inkscape.app/Contents/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin/python3.10 --version
What should have happened?
If I use Inkscape 1.4.2, I get the following behavior:
- An equation should show up in the canvas.
- The Python command return
Python 3.10.13.
