The intended behaviour was that py3.8 would provide it built-in because that's aiming for wider compatibility (although on reflection that isn't really needed because egi_pynetstation does now happily install as a user package) and py3.10 would not include it because we're expecting people to need more plugins there.

BUT it looks like py2app has spotted the existence of import egi_pynetstation inside the project so it provided a partial install to make just that call possible. On py310 standalone you can do import egi_pynetstation but not from egi_pynetstation import NetStation. That's why you aren't offered the option to install - because psychopy thinks it's there but not enough of the lib is there to actually work.

Options for psychopy 2024.2.3 (imminent release to fix issue with macos installers):

1. pre-package in both python versions - easiest for the user and only slightly against the plugins ethos
2. remove from both releases - has the advantage that users can install/uninstall/update rather than having the fixed version provided

For the 2025.1.0 release, I suggest it's time to create a psychopy-egi plugin with a component that covers the use-case of your current documented tutorial. The plugin will be easier to find than the package, and can specify the package as a dependency

Shall we go with option 1 for this release and switch to option 2 for 2025 with the additional plugin option?

Yes I think Option 1 for next release and Option 2 for 2025.x.

I'll dig into how to build a proper plugin.

Very happy to support you on that, or possibly worth just co-authoring one with @TEParsons or @mdcutone to get started

Would absolutely welcome the support and co-authoring!

I recommend https://github.com/psychopy/psychopy-plugin-template as a starting point, happy to help if you have any questions :)
