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

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

Help: how to programmatically set "open with" app in OSX
by Jack Jansen Dec. 31, 2002

Dec. 31, 2002

Folks, how can I programmatically set the "Open with:" default for .py files in MacOSX? I had expected this to work with the Internet Config API, but that doesn't seem to work. Can anyone point me in the right direction? -- - Jack Jansen <Jack.Jansen(a)oratrix.com> http://www.cwi.nl/~jack - - If I can't dance I don't want to be part of your revolution -- Emma Goldman -

XML with OS X.2 cmd-line python
by David Eppstein Dec. 30, 2002

Dec. 30, 2002

What is the simplest method of getting an XML parser working under the OS X.2 command-line Python? It looks like either xml.parsers.expat or xml.sax will meet my needs, but neither seems to work out of the box -- expat claims that pyexpat is missing (which from a little googling seems to mean that the expat lib couldn't be found when Apple built their Python version) and sax claims it doesn't have any parsers (for same reason?). The answer I'm hoping for would be something like "download this, run that install script, and it will put files in /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/some-directory/". I can handle more complex install procedures but answers involving files placed elsewhere than site-packages are problematic from the point of view of getting a standalone app running under pyobjc. -- David Eppstein UC Irvine Dept. of Information & Computer Science eppstein(a)ics.uci.edu http://www.ics.uci.edu/~eppstein/

MacPython 2.2.2 for MacOS 8.6 available
by Jack Jansen Dec. 29, 2002

Dec. 29, 2002

A new set of installers for MacPython 2.2.2 have been uploaded and are available via <http://www.cwi.nl/~jack/macpython.html>. The only difference is that these installers have been built with a newer version of Installer Vise. The old installer had a bug which made it unusable on MacOS 8.6, the new one has fixed that. There is no reason to download again if you previously installed 2.2.2, but people using MacOS 8.6 can now start using 2.2.2 too. -- - Jack Jansen <Jack.Jansen(a)oratrix.com> http://www.cwi.nl/~jack - - If I can't dance I don't want to be part of your revolution -- Emma Goldman -

Metrowerks-buildable Carbon/PEF/CFM MacPython in CVS?
by Dan Brotsky Dec. 29, 2002

Dec. 29, 2002

Jack, Are the CVS sources still supposed to be buildable using Metrowerks as a Carbon/PEF/CFM app? Is there any planned date for this to stop working? I seem to remember some discussion of this but I can't find it in the archives. I ask because a lot of my paid programming still involves using Python as a test harness for CFM-based extensions. I'd love to keep being able to use the latest and greatest Pythons for this. Thanks in advance for any info. dan

IDLE / PythonIDE
by Jan de Leeuw Dec. 27, 2002

Dec. 27, 2002

Tried the new CVS version -- every app I try now works. Sorry about that. Will try to break something asap. By the way, make test tells me 199 tests OK. 1 test failed: test_locale 24 tests skipped: test_al test_bsddb3 test_cd test_cl test_curses test_dl test_email_codecs test_gdbm test_gl test_imgfile test_largefile test_linuxaudiodev test_mpz test_nis test_normalization test_ossaudiodev test_pep277 test_poll test_socket_ssl test_socketserver test_sunaudiodev test_unicode_file test_winreg test_winsound 1 skip unexpected on darwin: test_ossaudiodev If this is surprising, I'll send details. I do have gdbm, gmp, libdl from fink -- I guess they are not found/used. And the build continues to try to build a dl module, and then complains dlopen and friends are not found. This is possibly because I have libdl.dylib in /sw/lib and /opt/local/lib and even /usr/local/lib -- and dlfcn.h in the corresponding include directories. === Jan de Leeuw; Professor and Chair, UCLA Department of Statistics; Editor: Journal of Multivariate Analysis, Journal of Statistical Software US mail: 9432 Boelter Hall, Box 951554, Los Angeles, CA 90095-1554 phone (310)-825-9550; fax (310)-206-5658; email: deleeuw(a)stat.ucla.edu homepage: http://gifi.stat.ucla.edu ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------- No matter where you go, there you are. --- Buckaroo Banzai http://gifi.stat.ucla.edu/sounds/nomatter.au ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------
