Hi @rderewianko I'm running macOS Monterey and have current python v.3.11 as well as legacy v.2.7.18 installed. Regardless if I invoke python2 or python3, I get:

import Cocoa ImportError: No module named Cocoa

Trying several hints on the web how to re-add Cocoa didn't help.

Do you have any idea how to make your script work again with current macOS? That would be awesome 👍
