pythoner on isadora 3 - execution thread not running

[dssv_isadora]

Hi, I was using pythoner on a free version of Isadora 4, and I had made some advances (I'm a python coder, and I'm learning Isadora). Now, I have the license only for Isadora 3, version 3.2.6. So I uninstalled Isadora 4 and got Isadora 3 for USB. Now pythoner doesn't work. Any help? I'm using a Mac.

Here are some observations:

- First, the pythoner actor showed up, but it didn't work, and when clicking on it I got the message "The Python Execution Thread is not Running".

- Going to the pythoner folder in <Library/Application Support/Troikatronix/Python> I noticed that the documents there had not been changed from my Isadora 4 setup (modified dates were old, and content of venvs hadn't changed). So I figured during installation Isadora 3 didn't change them.

- So I deleted the folder, reset/deleted the isadora preferences, and uninstalled Isadora 3. Then I reinstalled Isadora 3.

- I got the folders, but this time Python only contained the empty PythonVENVs, and nothing else. Now I'm not even able to create a pythoner actor within Isadora.

So, I'm still at the point at which pythoner doesn't work/download correctly in Isadora 3. Any help would be greatly appreciated . Thanks!!

Pythoner was never publicly released for Isadora 3 and is not designed to work for it.

It may incidentally work there in some ways, but it's not designed to do so at all.

 In fact Pythoner required changes made to Isadora 4 to run correctly (early betas proved to require under the hood changes).
So Pythoner has been updated to present this help file if loaded into Isadora 3.
