I'd appreciate anyone's help - I would love to see if I can up my productivity with CR!
I'm on a Mac mini M1 - I get this error when trying to activate CrowdRender in Blender 3.1 (both ARM & Intel builds):
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Users/******/Library/Application Support/Blender/3.1/scripts/addons/crowdrender/cr_source/bl_addon/__init__.py", line 91, in <module>

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'zmq'
During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Hi @walkerzavareei and @Colin Wolff, both of these issues were caused because due to the version of python that Blender 3.1 and 3.2 now use. Blender decided to upgrade to bundle python v3.10. This meant that our addon was no longer compatible since until the release of V0.4.3, our addon was bundled with binaries to support up to python 3.9.
V0.4.3 fixed this and is fully compatible with python 3.10 and has been tested to work with Blender 3.1 stable, and Blender 3.2 alpha.
I'm also getting this error upon upgrading to 3.1 using 0.4.2. When I try to activate the plugin (fresh install) it throws the same errors as above about a missing 'zmq' module.
This is on a windows amd64 machine.
Any help is much appreciated!
