This is likely caused by the fact that the dynamic libraries are not loaded
because the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH is ignored. If you disable SIP you will get
past that.

Anyway I don't understand why the modules are working (e.g. GRASS and GUI
starts) and ctypes are not (v digitizer, 3D, PyGRASS depend on ctypes
loading the GRASS libs). It seems that that's the part needed to resolve
this issue. (It is actually the same for Homebrew as well.)

PyGRASS should not be touched during startup and in GUI, so I don't know
where "Unable to import pyGRASS" is coming from but that's a secondary
issue not spotted elsewhere (it is also an old version).
