When importing xlwings 0.6.1 in Python 3.5 on a Mac, I'm getting the following error message:

Python 3.5.0 (default, Nov 8 2015, 20:38:08) [GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple LLVM 7.0.0 (clang-700.1.76)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

import xlwings Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.5/lib/python3.5/site-packages/xlwings/init.py", line 22, in from . import _xlmac as xlplatform File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.5/lib/python3.5/site-packages/xlwings/_xlmac.py", line 5, in from appscript import app, mactypes File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.5/lib/python3.5/site-packages/aeosa/appscript/init.py", line 8, in from aem.findapp import ApplicationNotFoundError File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.5/lib/python3.5/site-packages/aeosa/aem/init.py", line 5, in import ae, kae, findapp, mactypes, aemconnect ImportError: No module named 'ae'

Has anyone encountered this error with the recent release of xlwings 0.6.1?

Something seems to have gone wrong with the installation of the appscript package, a dependency of xlwings. Try to reinstall that. But generally speaking, I would suggest to open an issue on GitHub for these kind of questions since there is usually something very specific going on. For ease of installation, I recommend to use the Anaconda distribution.
