Actually, you can try the latest alpha, as it uses an older version of PyQt5 it might still work in El Capitan: https://github.com/mu-editor/mu/releases/tag/1.1.0-alpha.2
Thanks for the suggestion @carlosperate. I just tried installing the mu 1.1.0-alpha.2 with no change in results. I launch mu-editor and the icon appears in my doc and then jumps up and down twice. But, otherwise no window opens & nothing else happens. Perhaps some day I will get a newer computer.
Kernel died, restarting
Kernel died, restarting
Were you using python virtual environment ?
What happens if you just start python on the command line - is it's repl messed up?
I see https://automatetheboringstuff.com/2e/chapter6/ mentions Zombie Dice Bots - a chapter on "Manipulating Strings" should not trigger 'kernel died' messages :-(
@McNickSisto -
I looked at the mu sources and I do see a mention of "The runner encountered a fatal error and has died" - but nothing exactly like your "Kernel died, restarting"
maybe a screenshot would help?
Perhaps the issue is your serial port that mu is connecting to is spitting out these messages?
what serial port connected to?

Hi, I’m new to Mu editor and Adafruit boards.
I installed the newest Mu (103) on windows 10. Then I connected my Metro M4 Express with 2.8 TFT LCD shield via USB. I made the bootloader update (update-bootloader-metro_m4-v3.10.0.uf2) and then the CircuitPython update to 6.0.0 (adafruit-circuitpython-metro_m4_express-de_DE-6.0.0.uf2) by drag and drop the files to folder METROBOOT.
For testing I started the script bitmap_font_label_simpletest.py, an example shipped with Adafruit_CircuitPython_Bitmap_Font-master .
The first lines are:
…
import board
from adafruit_display_text import label
from adafruit_bitmap_font import bitmap_font
display = board.DISPLAY
…
and I get the error: AttributeError: ‘module’ object has no attribute ‘DISPLAY’
meaning the line “display = board.DISPLAY “
Can somebody tell me where the lib ‘board’ is located and where can find the right version with DISPLAY inside? Or is there another reason for the error?
the also have learn guides - like this one https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-neopixel-uberguide
