Going from memory here so I may get this slightly wrong. On OSX back in those versions I learned that the way the Latex installation was done was not in a standard directory but works since OSX adds directories to the standard that are in the file /etc/paths.d and also in files in /etc/paths/ . We extended the darwin.py initialization routine to add these directories to the ones searched. Not sure if Detect uses those but pretty sure exists() does.
