Comment (by RobK88):

 Davide and Ken -- Thanks for all the input.

 Yes one could use python 3.7 or 3.8.  I just assumed that python 3.9 was
 better.

 And yes geocoder is in Macports (py-pygeocoder) but I cannot find ratelim.
 Where is it?

 {{{
 $ port search ratelim
 No match for ratelim found
 }}}

 Maybe ratelim is not available in Macports for users on Lion?

 If you use MacLoggerDX, I doubt you will like PyQSO.  MacLoggerDX is
 probably the best logging program on the Mac.  Followed by RumLog
 (Freeware) and Aether.

 P.S.  Rumlog has a couple of big advantages.  It is FREE!  And RumLog2Go
 is available on iOS (for less than $10) and easily syncs with RumLog
 running on the Mac.  So if you want to try another logging program for the
 Mac, you should check out RumLog.  (See
 https://dl2rum.de/rumsoft/RUMLog.html )

 But I was looking for a truly cross platform logging program since I use
 different OS's.  They are only a few options:

 jLog
 KLog
 pyQSO
 XLog

 jLog is a java program and works well.  It is still being developed!  But
 you need a free registration code to unlock it.  I still am waiting to get
 the code from the developer!

 KLog works great on Linux but is buggy on the Mac.  The UI does not
 properly refresh on the Mac.  It looks like no one has tested it on the
 Mac :-(  (see https://www.klog.xyz/ )

 pyQSO appears to work great on the Mac and Linux.  But development stopped
 a couple of years ago. (See https://github.com/ctjacobs/pyqso )

 XLog is a pretty good program and is actively being developed but it does
 NOT use a database engine (like sqlite or MariaDB etc).  XLog just writes
 to a text file.  I suspect the performance will be poor with a large
 logbook.  XLog is in Macports!

 So it looks like pyQSO is one of the better choices for a cross platform
 logging program right now.  But it will never compete with a logging
 program designed to run on one OS like MacLoggerDX, RumLog or Aether.
