Hello Jeremiah, this is definitely a pure Frescobaldi issue. It appears that Frescobaldi tries to concat a nonstring to a string when calling from macports, which python does not allow (basically you'd want to use string formatting instead). Bu considering this is python you can fix this yourse

Hi Jeremiah, I neglected to consider the development releases. I feel so incompetent. No need to! The term "development" (as opposed to "stable") tends to scare users away. And while it is basically true that - the development releases might have syntax changes (that might even be changed
