Unable to install shapefile.py library on MacOS

Help requests please in on forum. You can try it if it works in the latest weekly builds: https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD-Bundle/releases/tag/weekly-builds

Could we reopen this please? While a Python NOOB, I am an experienced developer.

Or maybe I should create a new issue specifically identifying the defect.

I tried the latest dev version with exactly the same results:

15:08:02  pyException: Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/Volumes/FreeCAD_weekly-builds-37543-conda-macOS-x86_64-py311/FreeCAD.app/Contents/Resources/Mod/BIM/importers/importSHP.py", line 49, in insert
    if not checkShapeFileLibrary():
           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  File "/Volumes/FreeCAD_weekly-builds-37543-conda-macOS-x86_64-py311/FreeCAD.app/Contents/Resources/Mod/BIM/importers/importSHP.py", line 139, in checkShapeFileLibrary
    u = addonmanager_utilities.urlopen(url)
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
<class 'AttributeError'>: module 'addonmanager_utilities' has no attribute 'urlopen'

The problem is exactly what is stated in the error message. There is no urlopen routine in Mod/AddonManager/addonmanager_utilities.

I suspect the problem is in Mod/BIM/importers/importSHP.py. If you search the Mod/BIM/importers, importSHP.py is the only file that references addonmanager_utilities.urlopen.
