on a miniconda3 install on my M1 Mac, first time doing the new pip / meson install on this machine, any time I opened PYME I would get a window pop-up asking me to choose the Python app. If I navigated to my Conda environment binary, I couldn't select it. Hitting X on the window would give:
and hang:

WARNING:PYME.DSView.modules:Plugin [recipes] injects into parent namespace, could result in circular references
DEBUG:PYME.ui.AUIFrame:Creating fold panel
165:173: execution error: Can’t get application "python3.11". (-1728)

Is this a bugfix or an enhancement?
bugfix
Proposed changes:
allow choice of .app bundle (current state) or executables on OSX.
didn't need to manually select anything in a gui after this fix (helped by Claude).

Alternative fixes welcome, just wanted to post what got me going again.
