viscm fails on MacOS

[abatten]

I am trying to use viscm on MacOS however it fails with this error when using the basic example.

python -m viscm view jet

I have tried using both the version available on pip and through cloning the repo. But the both raise the same error.

MacOS Version: 10.12.6

Python Version: 3.6.8 Viscm Version: 0.9 Matplotlib Version: 3.0.3 Colorspacious Version: 1.1.2

What Matplotlib backend are you using?

[abatten]

Apparently I'm using 'TkAgg'

@abatten curious if you can try this again with v0.10. We've dropped support for many of the software versions you were using when you originally reported. Please try pip install viscm[PySide] to ensure Qt is also installed!
