Glad it's working, what an ordeal 😭!

Just because even the thought of using a system-wide python gives me anxiety, I did want to risk annoying you by asking if you noticed the stupidly complicated installation instructions for pyenv: in the macOS section it says "Then follow the rest of the post-installation steps under Basic GitHub Checkout, starting with #2 ("Configure your shell's environment for Pyenv")", and in that section it tells you how to futz with your .bashrc or .bash_profile to make it work.

I use oh-my-zsh and I just have the following line in ~/.zshrc: eval "$(pyenv init -)".

Again, totally feel free to ignore me! I'm just going on because I can't imagine life without pyenv/conda to keep my python sanity 🙃.

jdepp is also pretty interesting and unusual. I really like it but had to think about what exactly it was doing, what bunsetsu were, how to take advantage of bunsetsu and their inter-dependencies. Feel free to reach out if you want to check notes on it!

I was actually only using jdepp to create "words" and then I'd search the definition. More or less copying your method from the stackoverlfow post. So more advance stuff isn't going to be touched.

It's unfortunate that you can't get rid of the extra dependencies, like particles, to get the real word.

@MeikyuuTrader have you seen Ichiran? https://ichi.moe and https://github.com/tshatrov/ichiran its a very nice way (and an alternative to MeCab + JDepP) to find particles, etc. but via a totally different technique.
