[proFit-list] Problem with Python

[Jeremy Harbinson]

Hi Kurt,
I installed an M1 compatible Python and Profit is now curve-fitting as it used to.
Thanks for your help,
All the best,
Jeremy

There, select pro Fit, and the choose Get Info from the File menu. In the window that comes up, check Open Using Rosetta, then restart pro Fit. You should now be able to link to an Intel version of Python.

I have installed Anaconda and though I have tried to update to the latest M1 version of Anaconda using 'conda install anaconda=2022.05’ the Python files in /Users/jeremy_m1/opt/anaconda3/bin are still Intel files. My libpython3.9.dylib file is also Intel.
