Can't import objc package with python without sudo permissions.

No Python 3 distribution, whether from Apple in its developer tools, or from any downloaded distribution, knows about Apple's Python scripting bridge, and without access to that functionality, you cannot import objc, or any other Apple framework.

If you have a /usr/local/bin/pip3, then you can install the PyPy pyobjc package into that user-installed Python3 distribution, and then you can use import objc, from Foundation import NSURL, etc. from the scripting bridge. The installation syntax from the Terminal is:

pip3 install -U pyobjc
pip3 list



Sample using objc after its import.

The first line in your Python scripts should be the following and will work off of your PATH setting:

#!/usr/bin/env python3

It looks like part of your toolchain was not built properly. Here is one possible explanation of a cause: https://taoofmac.com/space/cli/rrdtool

But for these kinds of things, it could also be any of a dozen different open source libraries you are linking with.

Can you please tell me how to fix it?

No clue. I might do that kind of thing for my own software I'm developing, but it would be impossible to tell you how to fix it on your own computer. This is one of the "features" of open source software. You haven't paid any money for it, but you have access to all the source. You are now free to learn all about dynamic library loading, fix these bugs, and contribute your patches upstream to whatever project was broken.
