textext: Error prevents running the extension on macOS

I have followed step by step the installation instruction (from the very beginning, i.e. installation of inkscape using homebrew) on macOS Catalina Version 10.15.3. Yet, I get this error when trying to open tex text, along with the opening of XQuartz:

Yay! It worked for me as well, just I had to combine your commands. The following worked for me: python3 setup.py --pdflatex-executable=$(which pdflatex) --skip-requirements-check

(python3 is just because I am using python 3.7 with python3 command)

I also encounter the same bug as well. For Inkscape 1.0 (4035a4f, 2020-05-01) and TexText 1.0.0 on MacOS 10.14.6. It can still generate the equation correctly despite the following warning message came out.

(__main__.py:16113): Gtk-WARNING **: 16:49:13.975: Locale not supported by C library.
	Using the fallback 'C' locale.
