Until last month I had been happily using Python 3.6.2 to control a Lifx Z multizone light strip. Then Apple did a security update (10.12.6) to the operating system. Now I get the message "Do you want the application “Python.app” to accept incoming network connections?" from the operating system and a timeout error from Python indicating that it wasn't able to communicate with the strip. When I asked Apple about this they said that they did not support applications that were not from the app store. (A silly reply to my mind, since they use Python to support the operating system.)
I have done all of the keychain and codesign suggestions I have found on the internet to no avail. And I hear that Apple is moving away from SSL for security. The only way I can now control the light strip is to turn off my firewall whilst doing it. I don't like that solution.
Does anyone have any ideas?
