| The Python.framework installed at '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework' should have a subdirectory structure similar to this: Python.framework | | -Headers [symlink to 'Versions/Current/Headers'] | | -Python [symlink to 'Versions/Current/Python'] | | -Resources [symlink to 'Versions/Current/Resources'] | | -Versions | | | | -2.7 [directory created by 2.7 installer] | | | | -3.5 [directory created by 3.5 installer] | | | | -3.6 [directory created by 3.6 installer] | | | ... | | | | - Current [symlink to last installed version, e.g. '3.6'] Current Python.framework installers create a 2.x/3.x directory and Headers+Python+Resources symlinks, but fail to create a 'Current' symlink. This breaks the top-level symlinks and causes importing the framework via NSBundle to fail. Please fix the framework build and/or install script to create the missing symlink. |

| This is by design for Python 3 installs; Current *is* created for Python 2 installs for historical reasons. See the discussion in Issue18117 why trying to use -framework Python is not a good idea unfortunately. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
