macOS Python segfault

[mattbroussard]

After a new install of fpp from Homebrew on a new system with macOS Ventura 13.6.1, fpp is able to launch but segfaults if I press an arrow key to move the cursor:

/opt/homebrew/bin/fpp: line 33: 88101 Segmentation fault: 11  $PYTHONCMD "$BASEDIR/src/choose.py" "$@" < /dev/tty

I installed a new copy of Python from Homebrew (previously had just whatever macOS comes with, if anything?) and the segfault no longer seems to happen.

hey @mattbroussard, I had the same problem.. the easiest solution for me was stop relying on Xcode definition of some dependencies, so either you define the right path to pyhton, etc, or select an older version of Xcode (like 14.3 and below)
