I have 32 bit kdb on my Mac OS, and want to use pyq with Python3.6 32 bit version. Currently, I have it working perfectly for 32 bit Python2.7 after installing it as below.

./python2.7-32 pip install -i https://pyq.enlnt.com --no-binary pyq pyq

Now I need to use with Python3.6 and try similarly to install the 32 bit via: 

 ./python3.6-32 pip install -i https://pyq.enlnt.com --no-binary pyq pyq

It does install it but when I try to run in after something happens and It gives me an error:

~$:/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/bin> ./pyq
'2017.05.02T21:14:50.022 dlopen(libpython3.6m.dylib, 10): image not found

"r:py[`pyq^`$getenv`PYTHONEXECUTABLE;args;lib]"

  • Why? This is going to be nothing but trouble. macOS has gone 64-bit only and has been that way for years now. All the 32-bit libraries have been thrown out. If you really need a 32-bit environment, run it in a VM. – tadman May 02 '17 at 20:25
  • Point taken. I will use 2.7 for now then. Its for learning purposes anyway. – Alim Hasanov May 02 '17 at 20:26
  • I am not sure what `./python3.6-32` is in your command. Is this your custom built python executable? In this case you should probably specify `-mpip`, not just `pip` on the command line. We recommend using universal builds from brew: `brew install sashkab/python/python36 --universal` – Alexander Belopolsky May 02 '17 at 22:29

From the error message

dlopen(libpython3.6m.dylib, 10): image not found

it looks like you've built a statically linked python and used the --with-pymalloc config option. Please make sure that you configure your python with --enable-shared. Better yet, use a universal built from brew:

brew install sashkab/python/python36 --universal

Finally, if you are going to use multiple versions of python, consider using virtual environments.

For detailed instructions, see "Installing PyQ on macOS".

    There is now a [guide](https://pyq.enlnt.com/install/install.html#installing-pyq-on-macos) on how to install PyQ on macOS using Python included into the system, and brewed Python. – sashk Sep 14 '17 at 15:36
