Apple Mac M Series processor support

Hi all,

Got someone Pyads working on a Macbook with M1 processor? I receive the following error after installing Pyads:

import pyads

from .ads import (

Currently, the Apple M series is not supported, unfortunately. This is being worked on, however this project is only worked on during the spare time of a few participants so we do not have a timeline for this feature.

Okay thank you for the info, no problem I will use Linux instead. Do you guys know if I will be able to use Pyads on my M1 if I run a Linux virtual machine?

Not sure, give it a go.
