Hi Jacques,

Apparently the script is being run by Python 3.
Until the latest stable version, namely 2.22,
musicxml2ly et al. were Python 2-only (and not
even Python 2.7 but 2.4). They got ported by Jonas.
I don't have a clue why the wrong version is
picked, but would you try with version 2.22?
(Assuming that you can actually execute it, which
doesn't seem granted from your previous message
about mysterious Mac OS installation problems...)

Cheers,
Jean
