It seems that when using the automator installations that come with the pubmex the pubmex.py can not be found.

    for f in "$@"
    do
        pubmex.py $f
    done

The following error is displayed:

The action “Run Shell Script” encountered an error: “zsh:3: command not found: pubmex.py”

When specifying the direct location of just the pubmex.py file another error occures.

    for f in "$@"
    do
        /users/suntim/miniforge3/bin/pubmex.py $f
    done

The following error is displayed:

The action “Run Shell Script” encountered an error: “”

When specifying the direct location of python and the pubmex.py file another error occures.

    for f in "$@"
    do
        /usr/local/bin/python3 /users/suntim/miniforge3/bin/pubmex.py $f
    done

The following error is displayed:

The action “Run Shell Script” encountered an error: “Traceback (most recent call last): File "/users/suntim/miniforge3/bin/pubmex.py", line 27, in <module> from Bio import Entrez ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'Bio'”

I have all dependencies installed pip3 install pubmex, pip3 install biopython, brew install poppler. As it says in the readme.md that biopython should be isntalled via brew I assume that was a mistake. I instead installed it via pip3.

The same error messages occure regardless of using the zsh or bash version.
