I'm trying to create music using FoxDot. However, I've failed to run it. I'd greatly appreciate it if anyone could help me solve this issue.
Let's go through it: OS Windows 10 Pro, SuperCollider 3.13.0, Git, sc3 plugins, Python 2.7.18, and FoxDot are installed. I followed these steps:
Open the SuperCollider IDE.
Type Quarks.install("FoxDot") and run it by pressing Ctrl+Enter.
Recompile the SuperCollider class library by going to Menu -> Language -> Recompile Class Library.
On the next line, type FoxDot.start and evaluate it by going to Menu -> Language -> Evaluate Selection or Line.
Open cmd.
Run python -m FoxDot. However, FoxDot does not open. Instead, the following error message appears:
Traceback (most recent call last):

Thank you in advance for your help!
The traceback indicates a TypeError related to the 'isinstance' function, suggesting there might be an issue with the Python version compatibility or some package dependencies. One potential solution could be to check if all the required Python packages are installed correctly and if they are compatible with Python 2.7.18. Additionally, ensuring that FoxDot is compatible with the specific versions of SuperCollider and its associated plugins might also help resolve the issue.
Since you're using Python 2.7.18, it's possible that some dependencies or modules in FoxDot might not be fully compatible. Consider upgrading to Python 3.x, as many libraries and frameworks have dropped support for Python 2.x. This could potentially resolve compatibility issues and allow FoxDot to run smoothly. Additionally, double-checking the installation steps and verifying that all dependencies are correctly installed could help identify any missing components or misconfigurations that might be causing the error.
