Apologies for replying to myself, but I have successfully run Python mComm on
macOS Catalina 10.15. It took a bit of doing:
Predicate to this: having a sane python install (I use homebrew); maybe you can
make it work with system python but I'm allergic to system python on OS X.
ar x mComm_1.2_all.deb # open up the deb, note command is not tar
tar xvf data.tar.xz # extract the contents
cd usr/share/mcomm # get in there to the script
virtualenv venv # create a venv for its dependencies, optional if you don't use
virtualenv
source venv/bin/activate # activate the venv
pip3 install pyserial # this is the module it needs
python3 ./mcomm.py --path="${HOME}/model100/stash"
--port=/dev/tty.usbserial-A1084AEN # your parameters will differ
You may want to install it somewhere more permanent. I tested with the script
where it lay in my downloads directory but against my real M100 data set.
