If with 0.3.6 there is no busy ball, then something in version 0.3.7 is causing a crash but only under Yosemite. That is very strange. It appears to be something Tk related (Python's tcl/tk gui toolkit) because that testplugin passes for everything and the only thing not covered by it is Tk.

The fact that with 0.3.6 you can see the file save as dialog and drag it around but NOT use it seems to indicate a broken Python Tk implementation as well. I previously tested 0.3.6 under Yosemite and el Capitan and it worked (although I had to manually hit the Python rocket icon in the Finder panel to get the dialog to appear).

So there is nothing special about Yosemite.

I would download and install ActiveState's active Tcl/Tk for MacOSX and this time look for an older version 8.5 instead of 8.6 to see if that helps.
