[chirp_users] macOS Sierra 10.12, blank window

Hi! Elliott, KL4JC here; I've got a few things:
- I've installed the KK7DS Python Runtime as required; it'd be really
nice if some more information about this were included on CHIRP's
pages. If nothing else, a link to an informational page about this
package itself is an absolute minimum. (Having me install a `.pkg`
with no explanation as to why? Please, no!) ... especially as Google
yields effectively nothing (except my own query to the Homebrew
issue-tracker from years ago, hah!)
- I want to note that the (surprisingly up-to-date!) “macOS tips page”
is, unfortunately, suddenly out-of-date again: there is a new GUI
for *properly* authorizing unsigned apps, as of macOS Sierra 10.12.1:
1. Attempt to run the app, accept the denial;
2. open the “Security & Privacy > General” System Preferences pane;
3. and there will be a new, temporary modal specifically providing
the opportunity to whitelist the most-recently-denied unsigned app
(i.e. CHIRP):
![System Preferences prompting CIRP](http://ell.io/icpTv+)
That should be a little more user-friendly, not to mention more
secure, than having users undertake fragile command-line whitelisting
of the entire directory! (=
- Finally, and my main reason for writing in ... unfortunately, trying
to run `chirp-daily-20161208.app` is not showing much in the way of
success, for me. I simply get a blank window, as follows:
![blank CHIRP window on OS X](http://ell.io/i4cfS+)
Anybody have any idea why I might be seeing this, or how to remedy it
without booting into Windows? /=
