Problem installing pyenchant on mac OS for python 3.4

[Naveed Afzal]

I am trying to install pyenchant on mac OS X Yosemite version 10.10.5 on python 3.4 but I keep getting this error:

>>> import enchant
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/lib/python3.4/site-packages/enchant/__init__.py", line 92, in <module>
    from enchant import _enchant as _e
  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/lib/python3.4/site-packages/enchant/_enchant.py", line 121, in <module>
    prefix_dir.contents = c_char_p(e_dir)
TypeError: bytes or integer address expected instead of str instance

I will really appreciate your help in solving this issue.
Thanks in advance.

I believe this is fixed in the latest code on github, by this commit:


https://github.com/rfk/pyenchant/commit/8cbd61416b18f7c224b98a1f6d91bb5ea48d6d71

Unfortunately I haven't found the time to make a new release with this
fix, and I may not for at least the next couple of days. But if you're
willing to try the code from github this might help solve the issue.


Cheers,

Ryan
