macOS listener support on apps where `sys.executable` is not a python interpreter about darkdetect HOT 8 OPEN

A tool build via piainstaller suports -c if the command following -c starts with from multiprocessing.resource_tracker import main;. For an example, see this fork: https://github.com/zwimer/darkdetect

Perhaps the macOS listener should subprocess.Process an osascript that does the same the presently-python subprocess does; since macOS should have osascript where as subprocessing on sys.executable with -c won't always work.

Putting this here in case someone else considers it: we could use the built-in python at /System/Library/Frameworks/Python or something. This would require making the required function / file work without any non-default libraries though, which means the setup.py of this would likely have to subproces.run("/usr/bin/python -m pip install pyobjc-framework-Cocoa --target=(path_to_darkdetect + "/pyobjc") which the listener subprocess could then load. Unless there is a way to create an observer which doesn't require subclassing an NSObject (which as far as I'm aware requires a native component provided via pyobjc's pip). Although that might have to be done at runtime for anything pre-built for many OS versions. So this isn't a great solution either.

For pyinstaller specifically: It seems pyinstaller supports -c as the second to last argument as long as the command starts with from multiprocessing.resource_tracker import main. So a hacky fix for pyinstaller might be to have our command be -c from multiprocessing.resource_tracker import main; import _mac_detect as m; m._listen_child()

Sorry but this command is used in the command line of pyinstaller or write in the python script that pyinstaller is going to pack?

Thanks, I'll try this.

It's presently on pypi as darkdetect-angr. Once this PR is merged in though the fork will likely go away in lieu of the original.

Thanks for your work. For me another option is to use darkdetect.theme + timer to achieve same "listener" feature on macOS.

Also I found that darkdetect fails to behave under sudo mode. See issue #37 .
