Unable to launch OctoPrint on MacOS

[muupl6]

What is the problem?

I am unable to even launch Octoprint on MacOS. I followed the guide posted at link below, but when actually running the application with the command octoprint serve it doesn't launch, and gives errors.

Setting up OctoPrint on MacOS

What did you already try to solve it?

I do not know how to fix this issue, so I have not attempted anything. I am not comfortable messing with the code.

Have you tried running in safe mode?

No, I cannot run OctoPrint at all.

Systeminfo Bundle

I am not able to get a Systeminfo Bundle at all, from neither the UI (cannot launch) or the CLI request (gives no output)

Additional information about your setup

MacOS Ventura Version 13.2 Beta (22D5027d),

OctoPrint doesn't support python 3.11 yet.
Currently Python 3.7, 3.8, 3.9 and 3.10 are supported.

Here is a small guide

Use different Python version with virtualenv

update: 3.11 is supported now - just reinstall OctoPrint to update it to 1.8.7 and it should work

How to reinstall OctoPrint

Note: This process will not impact any saved data or plugin installs, so it is harmless to give it a try if recommended. There are some occasions where you want to reinstall OctoPrint - like if OctoPrint doesn't start anymore after a failed update or if you can't update OctoPrint to a newer version because something went wrong during the update. Sometimes it also helps in situations where the filesystem was damaged (for example after a pulled plug, a power outage, a crash an…
