This explains also why you were not hit by the 'use_xcode' problem,
since it does not affect 10.13 and 10.14.

Indeed: I appreciate greatly that it is easy to build applications
with Qt and Python, but the combination makes distributing the
software for Mac a nightmare.

The prebuilt application (not yet available for Frescobaldi 3.2 due to
personal reasons) cannot include the documentation browser and the SVG
viewer because packaging some components of Qt with Python is
impossible on Mac.
I asked for help on the PyQt mailing list a couple of times and got no answer.
If anyone is interested, details can be found at

Best wishes.
