The source code for init.py has

elif sys.platform == "darwin":
    from osx import *

And the source code for osx.py is

from btcommon import *

raise NotImplementedError

This is consistent with the web page that only mentions Linux and Windows implementations. You'll probably have to check with the developer about OSX support on their roadmap.
