MyPaint-devel crashes on start

[bunk3m (Bunk3m)]

Thought I should let you know that MyPaint-devel @1.2.0-beta.20150828+git.04511511_0 crashes on start.

I'm not sure how to debug to provide more info to track down what's happening but I'm happy to help if you have time to guide me through that.

The error I get from the Console app is:

2015-09-13 11:19:48.143 AM com.apple.xpc.launchd[1]: (com.github.mypaint.mypaint.MyPaint.5712[15553]) Service exited with abnormal code: 1

I've tried a few things and hope these may be helpful in determining what the problem is:

1. tried to run from the commandline and got this output

   MyPaint
   INFO: mypaint: Installation layout: conventional POSIX-like structure with prefix u'/opt/local'
   Traceback (most recent call last):
     File "/opt/local/bin/MyPaint", line 450, in <module>
       init_gettext(localepath, localepath_brushlib)
     File "/opt/local/bin/MyPaint", line 255, in init_gettext
       lib.i18n.set_i18n_envvars()
     File "/opt/local/share/mypaint/lib/i18n.py", line 103, in set_i18n_envvars
       from AppKit import NSLocale
   ImportError: No module named AppKit
   

2. I've tried to start using ctrl-click on the MyPaint icon thinking that perhaps gatekeeper was doing something. There is no dialog box about new app allowed to run and the error msg is same as above.

When an app crashes, OS X creates a crash log file in the folder ~/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports/. If you could attach the log file corresponding to this crash, that might give an idea of what happened.

However, the additional information you provided in comment:1 might already be enough for someone who understands MyPaint's code to figure this out. I am not such a person; you may want to report this problem to the developers of MyPaint, since the problem does not happen for me.
