Python by itself cannot. But it can access Apple's core libraries to do anything. QuickTime seems a bit difficult, you seem to need AppleScript to access it, please have a look at the running thread "appscript and quicktime".

Play Quicktime mov
by Corrie Tse Oct. 9, 2005

Hi, I'm a newbie. Can anyone clearify if Python can play Quicktime movies? I kind of heard that it's possible. Also, does it have a specific control to play the .mov by time-codes? Many Thanks!

How to install MacPython-OS9 2.3.3 on MacOS 8.6?
by Tony Nelson Oct. 9, 2005

Oct. 9, 2005

I'm using Python 2.3 on FC3, and I'd like to also use it on MacOS 8.6. Before I get too involved, it seems that I should ask this list how to get MacPython-OS9 2.3.3 to work. <http://homepages.cwi.nl/~jack/macpython/macpython-older.html> says: >Despite earlier statements that MacPython-OS9 2.3 would run on MacOS 8.6 >this is not the case, at least not completely, and not without some >surgery. Contact the mailing list if you are desparate to get this working. So, would someone please tell me how to do it? And what the limitations are? ____________________________________________________________________ TonyN.:' <mailto:tonynelson@georgeanelson.com> ' <http://www.georgeanelson.com/>

Using distutils with XCode
by Paul Kinnane Oct. 9, 2005

Oct. 9, 2005

Hi I am trying to port a python library which I have running on the PC to the Mac. Can I compile a python distribution files (compiled C) using the distutils on OSX10.4. I don't have CodeWarrior 7 and wondered if it was possible to manually compile the library using XCode? I see it is possible using MPW (http://www.nevada.edu/~cwebster/Python/MPWHOWTO/MPWHOWTO.html) - however I can't run MPW without OS9. To date, I can compile the library in XCode, although it has trouble linking with the PythonCore library. I've also tried compiling the library on Darwin, and get a "Symbol not found : __cxa_pure_virtual" error when I do the import in python. Paul

py-rdiff-backup?
by Chinook Oct. 8, 2005

Oct. 8, 2005

*** I posted this on the rdiff-backup list, but the traffic there is next to nothing, so it being a python package I'm taking a shot at the pythonmac community :-) *** Ok, lets take a different shot at this :-) I would like to checkout rdiff-backup usage on Mac OS X (10.4.2) 1) Are there any other such users out there? 2) I want to use the full functionality but there are two limitations, namely ACLs and EAs. The various port packages have "librsync" included as a dependency but do not include pylibacl and pyxattr. 2a) EA support: supposedly with "pyxattr" recognized, but in Mac OS X the proper module is "xattr" which I have in my pythonmac 2.4.1 installation (/usr/local/) and in the DarwinPorts environment (/opt/local/). Other than my PATH variable, how do I get rdiff-backup to recognize "xattr?" 2b) ACL support: supposedly with "pylibacl" recognized, but I can't find any such thing for Darwin. The "standard" download setup.py checks for Linux and Free-BSD only and quits. Having looked (with my limited understanding) at the Carbon "FPGetACL" which pylibacl would, I believe, have to get down to, I'm not adventurous enough to just add Darwin to the setup.py. Is there any merit in pursuing this aspect? Thank you, Lee C

Extending Python (OS 10.3.9)
by Kevin J. MacKenzie Oct. 7, 2005

Oct. 7, 2005

Hi everyone, I am attempting to convert some time critical code into C to be imported as a module into python. This is on OS X (10.3.9) using the bundled 2.3.3 version of python. I am working through the extending python tutorial but am having trouble wrapping my head around some things which are a little above my knowledge of C and OS X. Full code is copied below. But, basically what I've done is created 2 source files, mod.c and sum.c with a header file sum.h (as per the tutorial). For compiling, I am doing the following: [code] [xxxxxxx@viridian 14:03:21]$ gcc $PYTHPATH sum.c -o sum.o [/code] Where $PYTHPATH ='-I/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/include/python2 .3' So gcc can find python.h sum.c compiles fine. The wrapper file mod.c, however gives me the following. [code] [xxxxxxx@viridian 14:03:12]$ gcc $PYTHPATH mod.c -o mod.o ld: Undefined symbols: _main _PyArg_ParseTuple _Py_BuildValue _Py_InitModule4 _sum [/code] I was under the impression that I should compile the source files, and then compile a shared library by the following: [xxxxxx@viridian 14:03:14]$ gcc $PYTHPATH mod.o sum.o -o mod.so However, the compile is pooching out on the compile of mod.c I am hoping that someone with more experience with this may give me some tips regarding how to go about this. The code from the tutorial I have pasted below. Thanks. kjm // ------------------------------------------------------------ // begin sum.c #include "sum.h" int sum(int a, int b) { return a + b; } int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { return 0; } //---------------------------------------------------------- //----------------------------------------------------------- // being sum.h int sum(int a, int b); int main(int argc, char* argv[]); //----------------------------------------------------------- //----------------------------------------------------------- // being mod.c #undef _DEBUG #include <Python.h> #include "sum.h" static PyObject* mod_sum(PyObject *self, PyObject *args) { int a; int b; int s; if (!PyArg_ParseTuple(args,"ii",&a,&b)) return NULL; s = sum(a,b); return Py_BuildValue("i",s); } static PyMethodDef ModMethods[] = { {"sum", mod_sum, METH_VARARGS, "Description.."}, {NULL,NULL,0,NULL} }; PyMODINIT_FUNC initmod(void) { PyObject *m; m = Py_InitModule("mod",ModMethods); if (m == NULL) return; }

py2app...
by hubert.blein＠libertysurf.fr Oct. 7, 2005

Oct. 7, 2005

Hello everybody, I'm a brand new Python user. And the reason is that I needed to make very small application running on both Mac and PC. I only wanted to add a compiled exe (for PC) and application file (for Mac) so I tried with py2exe and py2app. It was quit simple for PC (to be honest, I'm a PC user) but I did not succed for Mac with py2app on a friend's macOSX Panther... The little python script I wrote is just to list folders recusively. I copied it on bottom. Could someone convert my 20 lines code for me ? (it's 2 days I fail and I'm getting nervous as it's a very little part of a big project) May be I could help for something else ? py2exe, actionscript, php, ... All the bests to you ! Hub. ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- #checkDir.py ------------------------------------------------- import sys, os def treatDir(dirbasepath,resultat): resultat=resultat+dirbasepath+"\n" for dirpath, dirnames, filenames in os.walk(dirbasepath): for filename in filenames : resultat=resultat+dirpath+"\\"+filename+"\n" for dirname in dirnames : resultat=treatDir(dirpath+"\\"+dirname,resultat) return resultat dossier='.' texte=treatDir(dossier,'') f=open(dossier+'\pythonDir.txt', 'w') f.write(texte) f.close() ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- The script will produce a texte file looking like this : . .\checkDir.exe .\chmod.txt .\dir.txt .\doDir.bat .\doDir.sh .\library.zip .\python24.dll .\pythonDir.txt .\jackpot .\jackpot\son .\jackpot\son\09-Pluto.mp3 .\jackpot\speed .\jackpot\speed\speed.jpg .\jackpot\speed\Thumbs.db etc...

Jack Jansen MIA? and "official unofficial" 2.4.2 question
by Christopher K. Davis Oct. 4, 2005

Oct. 4, 2005

I sent in a patch on SourceForge to fix some type problems in Mac/Modules/qt/qtsupport.py about two months ago, hoping to see it get into Python 2.4.2, but haven't heard anything or seen any updates. His MacPython web site seems not to have been updated lately, either. Barring hearing from Jack, can anyone (Bob, perhaps?) offer me hints on how to compile a new copy of the _Qt.so that can be dropped in to either the Tiger stock 2.3.5 or Bob's official unofficial 2.4.1? (And, if Bob's listening, can this patch [1254695] make it into any 2.4.2 build you do?) The patch doesn't change _Qtmodule.c directly, so bgen still has to be run to get a working copy of that, but I figured out how to make that work already. -- Christopher Davis <ckd-sig(a)ckdhr.com> http://www.ckdhr.com/ckd/
