Okay. I found the issue

pyobjc = "*"

Apparently:

To install pyobjc on Ubuntu with Python 3.10, there are a few key things to understand:

1. pyobjc is a bridge between Python and Apple's Objective-C/Cocoa frameworks. It's specifically designed for macOS development.

2. Ubuntu is a Linux distribution, not macOS. The Apple frameworks that pyobjc relies on are not available on Ubuntu.

3. Because of this, you cannot directly install or use pyobjc on Ubuntu.

If you're trying to develop macOS applications using Python on Ubuntu, you'll need to consider alternative approaches. Here are a few options:

1. Use a macOS virtual machine on your Ubuntu system.
2. Use a cloud-based macOS development environment.
3. If your goal is cross-platform development, consider using a framework that works on both Ubuntu and macOS, such as PyQt or wxPython.

I'm getting this on Debian. Does what you're saying mean it's not required for Linux? Can it just be commented out in pyproject.toml if I'm not trying to develop a macOS application?
