   hebasto commented at 9:59 pm on January 8, 2021: member

   This PR adds to macOS docs an explicit step to install macdeployqtplus script dependencies that are not part of the Python Standard Library:

   • https://pypi.org/project/ds-store/
   • https://pypi.org/project/mac-alias/

   This change is required on macOS 11 Big Sur:

   • #20371
   • #20878

   Close #20878.

   ACK aaa7b294f8323b0087b090180819aeadcf42a826

   Confirming that without installing argparse, ds_store, mac_alias, make deploy fails on macOS Big Sur 11.1.

   Deploying DMG is successful after installing these packages with pip3.

   argparse is part of the Python standard library.

   Indeed: https://docs.python.org/3/library/argparse.html

   It doesn’t need installing.

   Fixed.

    This change is required on macOS 11 Big Sur:

    There’s nothing macOS 11 specific about this doc addition. The same dependencies & dmg creation process is used you run make deploy on macOS 10.
