Seems like you have placed a `wood_nano` folder under `site-packages`. The `libmpfr-4.dll` is loaded by a process and Rhino fails at deleting it when reinitializing the runtime.

It’s best practice not to change the runtime directories manually. You can install the `wood_nano` package in a separate folder outside of the runtime (see `--target` option on pip) and add the path to the python search paths.

Manually deleting solves the issue.  
According to your advice I will use:

`pip install --target=/path/to/installation_directory package_name`

Will this error happen if a package is installed via PyPi when specifying r: #packagename keyword?

I quite sure that this happens due to windows dll on Mac… which is my fault. But I am wondering if the same thing could happen for MAC .dylib?

This is actually a bit difficult to maintain. Specially on MAC.

On windows I can pip install to rhinoscripteditor and temporary work that way for development. But for MAC, it always refers to PYPI if does not find a library it won’t load even if it is install in the site-packages folder.

After some trials, I will stay to this workflow:

` sudo -H /Users/petras/.rhinocode/py39-rh8/python3.9 -m pip install .`

that copies files here:  
`/Users/petras/.rhinocode/py39-rh8/lib/python3.9/site-packages`

after I deploy PYPI package I manually delete that.

If you can show a simpler method with --target it would be much appreciated, with Conda I could not make it work. I built packages locally then pip install to the directory of script editor.
