So I finally got my python program working on my Mac (Catalina 10.15.4), but I am greeted with the following error when it is opened on another Mac (High Sierra 10.13.6.)
Could not import the PyAudio C module '_portaudio'.

A simple tkinter test with various sounds and images works fine on the second machine, but not this script. I've tried adding all the packages manually, tried --nostrip, manually including 'libportaudio.2.dylib', and dozens of other ideas from countless outdated forums to no avail.
When the play function of my application is stripped, the app opens and crashes shortly thereafter - giving me the following error:

I have been using Python 3.6 and Py2App v0.13 because it is, unfortunately, the only version that has successfully packaged my program in a standalone package. Any version later than 0.13 gives me the following error even when bundling in alias mode:

I've seen a handful of people with similar errors to the one above, but the few solutions I've seen had no success.
I'm assuming there is a simple solution to both of these errors, but after a long two weeks of tinkering, I'm out of ideas. I just began programming and really want to continue to deploy GUI programs, so I am desperate to get this functional. Any help is greatly appreciated!!
