If I pip install cython, then try again it works.

Cython is listed in Mac dependencies:

        'Cython ; sys_platform=="darwin"',
        'pyobjus ; sys_platform=="darwin"',

So I'm not sure how you got that error.

Edit: OK I understand – it needs Cython, even at the time of installing, which makes it impossible to require it. Python does not have multi-stage dependency resolution. This is really not on us and instead should be taken to pyobjus people. What we can do instead is to somehow support Mac without relying on pyobjus.

@Henni @bsiegel @Evidlo can any one of you confirm if, after merging #42, Cython is still a valid requirement, or if it can be removed? I removed it on the osx_test branch and the tests seem to pass, but you never know… https://github.com/rr-/screeninfo/runs/1629693284?check_suite_focus=true
