I am trying to run Karta scripts in IDA but I get the following error:

Karta - INFO: Chose the IDA handler�[0m

Hi, sorry about the dependency issue. Python's versions and packages are a mess.
We had someone with a similar issue before, and it seems that IDA (at least in 7.4) compiled their PyQt against python 3.6, and it isn't interoperable with python 3.8 as you have it. Using python 3.6 with your IDA should work (even if it feel our of place).

Personally, I'm using python 3.7 with my IDA (all 7.X versions), and it works smooth.

Works with python 3.7
Thank you!
