Failed to create X-ray nor Wordwise, please help.

I'm using a Macbook with M2 chip and MacOS 15.3.1, the latest version of Calibre, WordDumb and Python 3.12.9.
Thanks for your time!

Python 3.13 is not supported.

Python 3.13 is not supported.

And this is the interesting part. In my case, WordDumb told me my Python version is too old and refuses to proceed when I have Python 3.12.9 installed. However, when I have 3.13 installed, interestingly, WordDumb will start its work, although it came up with this error at the end.

You should set the Python binary file path in the plugin settings window, the plugin doesn't have access to PATH on mac.

Here's what it shows when I have 3.12.9 installed via Homebrew

That means you didn't use Python 3.12, have you input the correct Python 3.12 binary path in the plugin settings?

I believe I’ve solved this problem. Thanks for your help!
