reticulateso a working Python 3 implementation is needed. Consider settingRETICULATE_PYTHONto a valid, working Python 3 installation if this package is not working for you.
The following functions are implemented:
airport_scan: Scan for available wireless network (requires Wi-Fi enabled Mac)kernel_state: Retrieve kernel state informationfind_dsstore: Find and optionally remove ‘.DS_Store’ files on a locally-accessible filesystemread_dsstore: Read a ‘.DS_Store’ from a file/URLsoftware_update_history: Retrieve Software Update historysw_vers: Retrieve macOS Operating System Version Information
