Hi @jackton1 !

Thanks for the report.

I think you're compiling with quite an old macOS / X Code / clang there. It does look however like we're using the non-standard C __thread keyword. Let me look into this and come back to you!

Thanks,

Adam

This seems to be linked to using

/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/bin/python3.6 if that helps switch to pyenv which seems to work fine.

I've done a bit more research. It won't help to switch pyenv. The best thing to do is upgrade your macOS, or if you can't do that, at least your C compiler clang. It turns out __thread is standard.

I'm also going to look into a way for Scout to install itself without the C extension if it won't compile. But I can't say when that will be done.

Thanks,

Adam

Already tested using pyenv's python 3.6.4 and didn't have any issues.

Upgrading Mac didn't seem to help it was still pointing to the same path.

How did you install Python 3.6.4 previously?
