Issue overview

The Run_RubyPythonPlugin test is failing. This is a codesigning issue, so mac only. It happens when you try to run the "PythonPlugin" feature of E+.

Current Behavior

Expected Behavior

It should work.

Possible Solution

Basically this is because E+ has codesigning on macOS, and it does not have a specific entitlement that allows to load unsigned (or differently signed) library at runtime (via dlopen).

The E+ exe is signed, the libpython is signed, all with the EnergyPlus codesigning certificate.
We pip install some dependencies that have a native extension, at least numpy and pandas. these are NOT signed. So it fails at runtime

Possible solutions:

• Rebuild an E+ package that adds an entitlements to allow this specific use case. I think it's the com.apple.security.cs.disable-library-validation one based on some preliminary testing
• Implement Codesign on macOS #5235 and override the signature with OpenStudio's
• Remove the E+ package signing altogether (via CmakeLists, after downloading it)
