one fallout of cr/lf code
by Magladry, Stephen March 21, 2003

March 21, 2003

It is nice to be able to run PC Python code unchanged thanks to the code change made to handle cr/lf within the Mac Python code. I have run into one problem through. The cr/lf is view as two separate lines. The following code, --test.py from a pc---- import sys <cr><lf> sys.blah<cr><lf> --test.py from a pc---- returns the following error: File "test.py", line 3 in ? AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'blah' Okay I can deal with doubling of the line number, that's not much of a problem. The real problem is with line continuations. --test2.py from a pc---- x = x\ <cr><lf> +1<cr><lf> --test2.py from a pc---- This code is not able to execute. The line continuation "works" on the <lf>. The <cr> is seen as a new line. Now without a continuation, Mac Python isn't able to correctly process it. I can "fix" my problems my doing the following. --fixedTest2.py from a pc---- x = (x <cr><lf> +1)<cr><lf> --fixedTest2.py from a pc---- Since an expression gets started with the "(", line continuation come for free. This is fine and dandy for cross platform code that I own and work with. It might be more of a problem with Python code one would get from some PC user, though. Don't know if we can do anything about this. If not, consider this as a FYI for those people working in a cross platform environment. Sincerely, Stephen Magladry

Re: [Pythonmac-SIG] ObjC stuff

Recently, Steve Spicklemire <steve(a)spvi.com> said: > So it's in CVS somewhere? I'll do a check-out and see if I can find it. I don't know, Steven Majewski may know (I think he is the one who looked at it). If it isn't in the repository it probably should be, preferrably in the Modules directory (because it is useful for non-Mac users) but if there's objections against that we'll put it in the Mac/Modules dir. > I just ordered CW-6 today so I might be able to pitch in a bit. While very useful for other things (like MacPython development) you don't need it for OSX unix-Python development: this is all make and gcc-based (and you have those on your OSX developer disc). -- Jack Jansen | ++++ stop the execution of Mumia Abu-Jamal ++++ Jack.Jansen(a)oratrix.com | ++++ if you agree copy these lines to your sig ++++ www.oratrix.nl/~jack | see http://www.xs4all.nl/~tank/spg-l/sigaction.htm

Configure question
by bill fancher Dec. 14, 2002

Dec. 14, 2002

I'm running 10.2 and upgraded autoconf to 2.53 so that I can regenerate configure from configure.in. Having done so, I now notice that I get the following line in configure output: checking LINKCC... ld: Undefined symbols: ___gxx_personality_v0 Should I worry? Is it just something I overlooked before? Is anyone else seeing this? (He asked, hoping to avoid having to isolate, and perhaps remedy, the underlying cause.) -- bill "They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright brothers.

mac OS X Apache Webserver Python Cgi's?
by Israel Evans Dec. 13, 2002

Dec. 13, 2002

Hey there Mac Python Folks... I figured that if anyone knew they would probably be on this list... I'm trying to set up my basic Apache webserver (the one that came installed with 10.1.5) to run python based cgi's. I figure that I'll probably have to use the unix version to do this but I'm not sure.. Anyway.. My real difficulty is setting up the apache server to use mod_python mod-snake or pyapache or whatever so that I can use osX as my development machine. Any help or pointers to more appropriate places would be greatly appreciated. ~Israel~

Strange MacPython (2.2.1) Behavior
by JR Nov. 1, 2002

Nov. 1, 2002

I'm running into some odd behavior from MacPython and was hoping that someone (here) might be able to provide some guidance... I've built a module that seemingly loads correctly, etc. If I import that module (e.g., from foo import *) and then line by line enter Python code in the Interpreter everything behaves fine. Yet, the same Python code read in from a text file (e.g., drag foo.py to PythonInterpreter) exhibits what I can only describe as structural failures (a result of garbage collection?). Here is some sample code: from module import * def _test(): session = session_class_ctor() dict = session.create_dict() field = dict.Get("key") _test() ...if I enter code like this interactively everything works fine. session, dict and field all remain uncollected (with >0 counters) and exhibit valid types (i.e., type(session) => '<session::blah>'). Yet, if I encapsulate the same code in a .py file and drag/drop the same on the interpreter the interpreter complains that dict has no Get attrbiute because it is of Type: None

waitNextEvent reliance
by Magladry, Stephen Oct. 30, 2002

Oct. 30, 2002

Anyone been able to modify the Python Core so that it uses primarily RunApplicationEventLoop() as opposed to WaitNextEvent()? Can anyone give me some guidelines of what would be needed in order to do this? Thanks, Stephen Magladry

ConfigurePythonCarbon warning

Oct. 29, 2002

ConfigurePythonCarbon gives me a warning that it "Could not install system-wide copy of PythonCore or PythonCoreCarbon". Is there something I can do to work around this issue?
