SUMMARY
On macOS, Kdenlive embeds its own Python interpreter (Python 3.9.6).
When attempting to install the Object Detection / Install Missing Dependencies,
installation fails because the sam-2 package requires Python ≥ 3.10.
There is no setting in the macOS build to select or override the Python
executable. Kdenlive always creates its virtual environments using the embedded
Python 3.9.6, making it impossible to install SAM2 on macOS.
As a result, Object Detection is currently unusable on macOS.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Settings → Plugins → Object Detection
2. Click Install missing dependencies button
OBSERVED RESULT
In log getting:
ERROR: Package 'sam-2' requires a different Python: 3.9.6 not in '>=3.10.0'
EXPECTED RESULT
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
macOS: 14.7.2 (23H311)
