Troubleshooting

When using the Inkscape extension something like the following error
|
||||||
|
might occur:

This is because Inkscape on macOS ships its own version of Python 2.7 where
|
||||||
|
:code:`lxml` and other dependencies are missing.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A workaround is to edit the file at
|
||||||
|
:code:`/Applications/Inkscape.app/Contents/Resources/bin/inkscape`.
|
||||||
|
At line 79 there should be following code:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
.. code::
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
export PYTHONPATH="$TOP/lib/python$PYTHON_VERS/site-packages/"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
which needs to be changed to
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
.. code::
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#export PYTHONPATH="$TOP/lib/python$PYTHON_VERS/site-packages/"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This forces Inkscape to use the Python version installed by Homebrew which
|
||||||
|
has all the necessary dependecies installed.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Note: This might break other extensions. In this case simply change the line
|
||||||
|
back and restart Inkscape.
