Can't use vboxapi on Mac using Python bindings with anything other than the system version of Python

[keeely]

Version 6.0.2 r128162 (Qt5.6.3)

When I installed VirtualBox it seems to have setup Python bindings to the system Python version on Mojave of 2.7.10.

I have installed the sdk for python 2.7.15 and 3.7 with: cd /Applications/VirtualBox.app/Contents/MacOS/sdk/installer sudo VBOX_INSTALL_PATH=/Applications/VirtualBox.app/Contents/MacOS /usr/local/bin/python2 vboxapisetup.py install sudo VBOX_INSTALL_PATH=/Applications/VirtualBox.app/Contents/MacOS python3 vboxapisetup.py install

The installation appears to complete correctly for both python2.7.15 and python3.7.0. However my test program only works for the built-in python 2.7.10 (/usr/bin/python).

My test Python program is:

from vboxapi import VirtualBoxManager mgr = VirtualBoxManager(None, None)

On built-in Mojave Python version, execution is without error (/usr/bin/python test.py)

On brew-installed Python 2 (/usr/local/bin/python2 test.py), I get: Segmentation fault: 11

On python 3.7.0 (python3 test.py) get: m=VBoxPython3_7m x=No module named 'VBoxPython3_7m' m=VBoxPython3m x=No module named 'VBoxPython3m' m=VBoxPython x=No module named 'VBoxPython' Traceback (most recent call last):
