Can't get gh2md working locally

[halostatue]

I’m trying to play with gh2md and I cannot seem to get it working, but if I recreate the effective GraphQL query and call with curl, I get results and not a 401.

$ GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN="$(gh auth token)" gh2md mattduck/gh2md gh2md

But the same effective request (verified by modifying the source to output the json on self._post) gives results (I’ve attached the | jq keys at the end to prevent posting a bigger wall of text):

["data"]

This happens whether I export GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN=aRealTokenValue or put it online, or whether I use a token created for testing or whether I use $(gh auth token) to get the token from the gh CLI. I can also pass the same effective request to gh api or curl and get the results that I expect.

I‘ve installed this on macOS under pipx (1.2.0) with Python 3.11.2 as the core interpreter (installed with Homebrew), but I’m not a Python developer, so I’m not sure where to go from here to investigate this issue. Even running it from ~/Library/Python/3.11/bin doesn’t work after using pip3 install --user gh2md.

However, running it in a Docker image (docker run --rm -it -e GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN=$(gh auth token) python:3.11.2 bash, then pip3 install gh2md && gh2md mattduck/gh2md /tmp/test) works.

Any idea why this doesn’t seem to work on macOS, at least for me?
