I assume the issue is a difference in python versions between my Mac and the Mac you tested on, or a permissions issue as alluded to, however the multiverse pod did not generate a json, and generated an exception as follows (the multiverse pod was still in my inventory, but the items are gone, so I will reload):
I’m sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.
