Astropy / python3 failure was created by Gonzothegreat

So I have on my mac mini High Sierra and Kstars 3.4.3
I am unable to solve anything what-so-ever.

First I get this:


then my settings are as follow:











I have an identical setup on my macbook air (but running Catalina) and everything works fine.

Also tried Sextractor instead of Python and that works on the laptop but on here on the mac mini.

pyfits was missing so I installed it as it's on my laptop but that made no difference really, still failling.

Hmm, your 'command-line-try' calls solve-field with the parameters from the log, but those were for the call to sex, no?
Which makes me suspicious anyhow, according to your images, it's not supposed to use it? (radio box is unchecked)....

I gave up on the python one for the moment, I have enabled sextractor for the time being,

You have to install sextractor separately, it is not part of astrometry.net

I'm using the internal one so it should really be there but it's not.
It is present in the above location on my laptop.

Uh. Guess I'm out then. My (linux) latest git doesn't offer an internal solver. Is that some special version with Robs stellarsolver? Or something Mac-specific?
Nevertheless, good luck!
