Run haasocope software on OSX 10.13.5 High Sierr

[salmansheikh]

I am having lots of problems getting things installed on OSX to get the software to run.

e.g., 'OSX, Python 2.7.10

I believe sip is installed but running the HaasocopeDraw complains about it not being installed.

Are you still having issues? I'm sorry, I'm not a mac person. Hopefully someone else watching will be able to help. Googling the issue can usually lead to a solution...
This page looks pretty good...

And talks about adding this to your path:
"export PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib/python:$PYTHONPATH"

Yeah but I did get the gui to start working on a windows 10 virtual machine running in virtualbox (after installing abunch of python stuff like the guide said) on but saw no waveforms but lost of messages in terminal that seemed like maybe I need a USB2 device (which I ordered) or usb3 (this imac is 2010 and doesn't support usb3 unless I get a thunderbolt to us adapter). But even in windows VM the gui was sluggish. I will try a windows laptop. I wonder if Linux works easy as windows...
