It was a supposed bug when I opened the thread, so the subject line was quite good at the moment.

Alex, would you discuss a bit more about this Python issue ? sys.modules reportings about the imported files has changed ? Since when ? Does this affect the Apple installed python or the "third parties" ones ? Thanks!

Loading modules on MacOS
by jurem＠flextronics.si Nov. 2, 2005

Nov. 2, 2005

Hi all, I'm porting some software from Linux/Python to MacOS/Python. Core modules are written in C++ and are loaded in Python as modules. On Linux those core modules are linked as shared libraries (.so). It looks something like: core_module1.so <-- 'standalone' core module, does not link any other lib high_module2.so <-- higher level module which is using core_module1.so Problem on MacOS is, that Python modules are bundles not shared libraries, so I've made it like: core_module1.dylib <-- dynamic library (using -dynamiclib gcc option) core_module1.so <-- bundle, created from .dylib high_module2.so <-- bundle, which also links .dylib I'm symlinking core_module1.dylib to libcore_module1.dylib. Link options for both bundles are: -W1,-F. -bundle -framework Python -lstdc++ -L. -lcore_module1 If I create only core_module1.so (as bundle, without dynamic library) it loads properly, but if I do it this way Python 'hangs' when I try to load module. I'm using dlcompat library (Mach-O wrapper) for loading dynamic library (dlopen, dlysm, ...) and it should work fine. Python version is 2.3, GCC is 3.3 (if I try to compile it on Linux with same versions works without problems) Does anyone have any idea, what could be wrong? I think this would be the cleanest way to port this software, am I wrong? Thanks for any ideas/suggestions, regards, Jure

compiled dylib
by Zhi Peng Oct. 30, 2005

Oct. 30, 2005

Hi! all I have some c code which can be compiled under gcc. But how can I compiled c code as a dynamic library as in Linux in .so form? In Mac, "gcc -shared ******* " does not work. If I compiled it as dynamic library, can it be used in CodweWarriot compiler as a dynamic library if I use gcc to make dynamic library? Anyone knew?

Drawing to the Clipboard in wxPython?
by Louis Pecora Oct. 28, 2005

Oct. 28, 2005

I have been searching for ways to draw to the clipboard rather than the wxWindow/screen in a wxPython app. I did this a long time ago in C on Mac OS 8. Then I could paste into drawing programs or MS Word or whatever as a graphical object. I could even edit the graphic in drawing programs. Is it doable in wxPython? I searched the wx libraries and found a lot about SetData and AddData to put data on the Clipboard after you open it and get ownership (not totally sure what that all means), but I haven't a clue how to use these object to capture drawing calls (e.g. DrawRect), if that's even the right way to do it. If anyone knows of any example code doing the above stuff, would you please point me to it. Thanks. -- Cheers, Lou Pecora Code 6362 Naval Research Lab Washington, DC 20375 USA Ph: +202-767-6002 email: pecora(a)anvil.nrl.navy.mil

Writting C extension in Mac os X tiger
by Jaonary Rabarisoa Oct. 28, 2005

Oct. 28, 2005

Hi all, I'm trying to write a C++ function that I can use with python. The sample code below works well under windows and linux but not under mac os x tiger : #include "Python.h" static PyObject * mHarrisDetector(PyObject *self, PyObject *args) { //Parse the args const int N = 5; const float eta = sqrt(2.f); const float sigma_0 = 1.f; const char* img_file; int ok = PyArg_ParseTuple(args, "s|ffi", &img_file, &sigma_0, &eta,&N); printf("%s %f %f %d \n",img_file,sigma_0,eta,N); Py_INCREF(Py_None); return Py_None; } static PyMethodDef PyIFFD_methods[] = { {"mHarrisDetector", mHarrisDetector, METH_VARARGS, "mHarrisDetector(image,sigma 0,eta,N) -> Array of Harris Point"}, {NULL, NULL} }; extern "C" void initPyIFFD(void) { Py_InitModule("PyIFFD", PyIFFD_methods); } To build this code I created a BDS dynamic library with Xcode. While loading the module I get this error : >>> import PyIFFD Fatal Python error: Interpreter not initialized (version mismatch?) Abort trap So what I've missed ? Thanks a lot for your help.

embedded C in MacPython
by Zhi Peng Oct. 27, 2005

Oct. 27, 2005

Hi! All I has some small program in C which is compiled as .so library in Linux and I can directly import name_of_lib.so as a module from python when I run it on Linux. It looks same if I just see them from Terminal window on Mac. Did anyone compile any C code as library called by MacPython or from C code calling MacPython using Py_RunSimpleString or similar commands? Thanks Zhi --------------------------------- Yahoo!

get reference
by Zhi Peng Oct. 26, 2005

Oct. 26, 2005

Hi! All First of all, Thanks for all your answers for my qestions. 1. In appscript commands set, I often see something like reference.bring_to_front() reference.extract_label() application.open() ... etc Application can accept all commands it should accept and respond to the commands. I knew the 'application" is 'app("Adobe InDesign CS2")' but what is the reference? I assume it is anObject or python object. How could we get the reference? Because all we get is something with type appscript.specifier.specifier. It seems not an Object as Has's mail mentioned. With the specifier, one may not be able to send commands to it. For example, page = app("Adobe InDesign CS2").open("filename").pages[0] This 'page' is not a reference, which can not accept any command that page object should accept. Is there any way that I can convert or get the reference or object instead of specifier? I would like to hold that reference object. Thanks __________________________________ Yahoo!

apple script and MacPython code
by Zhi Peng Oct. 26, 2005

Oct. 26, 2005

Hi! All I strongly believe that MacPython can be used to write similar code to perform Applescript code functions. I try to find corresponding MacPython code for apple script. For example following adobe apple script code tell application "Adobe InDesign CS2" set myDoc to make document tell myDoc tell page 1 set myTextFrame to make text frame set geometric bounds of myTextFrame to {"6p0","6p0","18p0","18p0"} set contents of myTextFrame to "HELLO" end tell end tell end tell I can run this script and set text frame on ID document. Now the questions are: 1. we can create MacPython obj say cs = app("Adobe InDesign CS2") 2. Then from cs we could have myDoc=cs.open(filename) How do we make a new document by using MacPython code?? From appscript help, we can get some description like : application.make(...) ---- make new element [new=Type] ---- The class of the item to be created [at =InsertionRef] ----The location at which to insert the item [with_data=record] --- the initialial data for the item [with_properties=Record] -- Initialial value for the properties of the new object result reference The question is "Do I need fill all 4 paramters in order to create a item?" I kew the type could be k.document, etc. On Adobe InDesign manual, there is no make method for application, I wonder if application will accept the commands. 3. I can write something like cs.active_document.pages[1].text_frames[1] and execute it without error. But how can one get the information from cs.active_document.pages[1].text_frames[1].contents here cs is app("Adobe InDesign CS2") If I print cs.active_document.pages[1].text_frames[1].contents, it should print out empty string or some string based on content. But it print out app("Adobe InDesign CS2").active_document.pages[1].text_frames[1].contents In TextEdit, we can use get() and set(). I do not know what command one needs to send cs.active_document.pages[1].text_frames[1].contents in order to get the information.
