Both EPD MacOSX 32bit and 64bit have similar kind of problems. There are some minor though probably irrelevant differences between the two packages such as wxpython in the 32bit see here: https://www.enthought.com/repo/epd/installers/ \"Special note about 64-bit Mac OSX\r\nThe macosx-x86_64 installer does not include wxPython, which a lot of ETS relies on. Even though ETS supports the use of PySide as a backend, things are much less stable under Qt. Therefore, if you want to use ETS, we recommned using the 32-bit EPD on Mac OSX. \""}}
