Addendum: I also tried installing Kodi and the Spotfy plugin under MacOS (version 10.11.6, El Capitan). Here the start of the plugin crashes Kodi, immediately after entering username and password, the plugin.audio.spotify directory is not created at all. If I create the directory manually (~/Library/Application Support/Kodi/userdata/addon_data/plugin.audio.spotify) and copy over the files from Windows, it still crashes, but does not ask username and password (so it does find the settings.xml at least). Can't be a privilege issue, all files are owned by me, not root or so. In the debug log, the last I see is

Code:

I also got a crash report, but not anymore (it seems these reports are not displayed anymore after 3 or so repetitions), so I can't paste it here. It would also be quite long.

I'm not needing Kodi on Mac - I just thought it might help me solving the Python issue above, but thought I mention it here anyway.
