Hello,

I’m trying to get the osxphotos port to work on macOS 15, but I’m not super familiar with Python and running it fails with this error:

❯ osxphotos version
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/opt/local/bin/osxphotos", line 5, in <module>
    from osxphotos.__main__ import cli_main
  File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.12/lib/python3.12/site-packages/osxphotos/__init__.py", line 13, in <module>

    import Quartz
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘Quartz'

I have the Python 3.12 and the matching PyObjC ports installed:

~ ❯ port installed python312
The following ports are currently installed:
  python312 @3.12.7_0+lto+optimizations (active)
~ ❯ port installed py312-pyobjc
The following ports are currently installed:
  py312-pyobjc @10.1_0 (active)

As far as I know the py312-pyobjc port should provide this Quartz module, but this doesn’t work on my machine:

~ ❯ /opt/local/bin/python3.12
Python 3.12.7 (main, Oct  5 2024, 01:39:55) [Clang 16.0.0 (clang-1600.0.26.3)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import Quartz
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘Quartz'

Does anyone know if this should work, or if I need any additional dependencies to get ‘import Quartz’ to work on macOS 15 with MacPorts Python 3.12?

Thanks, Nils.
