Put in this line: > >export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin I'd use '.bashrc' or '.bash_profile', because 'export' is bash syntax -- '.profile' should be read by any shell, and tcsh (e.g. default in OSX 10.2) doesn't understand that. BTW this file lives in you home folder (~ = /Users/yourname). If you don't know how to edit 'invisible' files (file name starting with a dot): You can see them with 'ls -al' and rename them with 'mv .dotname othername' (then open with TextEdit and rename again afterwards). If you want to check which python you're using, try 'which python'. Best regards, Henning Hraban Ramm Südkurier Medienhaus / MediaPro Support/Admin/Development Dept.

Can someone point me to instructions for getting fonts to use with PIL? ( http://pythonmac.org/packages/PIL-1.1.5-py2.4-macosx10.3.zip from http://pythonmac.org/packages/ ) Thanks. Tom Elliott

tkinter, py2app, and the console
by Jon Rosebaugh Nov. 23, 2005

Nov. 23, 2005

When I build a .app version of my program, it runs just fine, but there's one little concern. When run, the .app version produces two windows: both the normal window it's supposed to produce, and a window labeled "Console", in which nothing ever seems to happen. How can I keep this Console window from showing up? I'm using Python2.4 and tkinter. I can provide source or the compiled .app if needed.

Interactive shell
by Jeremy Conlin Nov. 22, 2005

Nov. 22, 2005

I just installed/upgraded python by using the package from http://undefined.org/python/MacPython-OSX-2.4.1-1.dmg. I just want the latest version of python so I can use matplotlib (among other things). However, it doesn't seem that the python I use from the terminal is version 2.4.x. What must I do so that when I type "python" on the command line of the terminal I get version 2.4.x? Thanks, Jeremy

IDLE broken: Where are the IDLE user-preferences?
by Andreas Kahl Nov. 21, 2005

Nov. 21, 2005

Hello everybody, can anyone please tell me where IDLE stores its user preferences? I have the same problem as Brad R. described a year ago, but there was no reply to that: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/pythonmac-sig/2004-December/012321.html I changed my Keybindings, too, and now I cannot launch IDLE any more. The icon bounces several times and then disappears. My Console says the following: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Applications/MacPython-2.4/IDLE.app/Contents/Resources/__argvemulator_idle", line 4, in ? execfile(os.path.join(os.path.split(__file__)[0], "idle")) File "/Applications/MacPython-2.4/IDLE.app/Contents/Resources/idle", line 5, in ? main() File "/Applications/MacPython-2.4/IDLE.app/Contents/Resources/idlelib/PyShell.py", line 1361, in main if not flist.open_shell(): File "/Applications/MacPython-2.4/IDLE.app/Contents/Resources/idlelib/PyShell.py", line 275, in open_shell self.pyshell = PyShell(self) File "/Applications/MacPython-2.4/IDLE.app/Contents/Resources/idlelib/PyShell.py", line 793, in __init__ OutputWindow.__init__(self, flist, None, None) File "/Applications/MacPython-2.4/IDLE.app/Contents/Resources/idlelib/OutputWindow.py", line 16, in __init__ EditorWindow.__init__(self, *args) File "/Applications/MacPython-2.4/IDLE.app/Contents/Resources/idlelib/EditorWindow.py", line 108, in __init__ self.apply_bindings() File "/Applications/MacPython-2.4/IDLE.app/Contents/Resources/idlelib/EditorWindow.py", line 778, in apply_bindings text.event_add(event, *keylist) File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 1299, in event_add self.tk.call(args) _tkinter.TclError: bad event type or keysym "tab" I suppose I shouldn't have used the 'tab'-Key as a shortcut. Perhaps you should deactivate that option in IDLE to prevent users from crashing their IDLEs too. Reinstalling does not help in any way. I hope, somebody can tell me the name of the file, so I can fix this. Thanks. Andreas P.S. My System-Info: PowerBook 15'', 1,67Ghz, MacOS Tiger 10.4.3, MacPython 2.4.1

Embedding MacPython in Matlab via mex file
by Barry Wark Nov. 20, 2005

Nov. 20, 2005

Hello all, I realize that this question cuts across quite a few areas. I hope folks around here can help me, but would be happy for direction to a better forum if one exists... I'm trying to embed the MacPython (Python.framework in OS X 10.4) in Matlab via a Matlab mex file (essentially a dylib that Matlab loads). The python code that I want to execute uses PyObjC. In my Xcode project for the mex file, I link only against the Python.framework. When Matlab tries to load the module that contains my code, I get the following error: Unable to load module: dlopen(/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/python2.3/site-packages/PyObjC/objc/_objc.so, 2): Symbol not found: __cg_TIFFWriteDirectory Referenced from: /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/ImageIO.framework/Versions/A/ImageIO Expected in: /Applications/MATLAB/bin/mac/libTIFF.dylib Importing my module in the python interpreter is no problem. My interpretation is that there's a conflict between the OS X frameworks and Matlab's libTIFF over who implements what. Can anyone suggest a solution? Again, I'd be happy for a pointer towards a more appropriate forum if this isn't it. Thanks! Barry

PyOXIDE and Python 2.4
by David Warde-Farley Nov. 20, 2005

Nov. 20, 2005

I've installed PyObjC from source on Python 2.4 / 10.4, using the bdist --open method. Unfortunately PyOXIDE still doesn't want to launch, complaining of a lack of PyObjC. Is PyOXIDE using Apple's Python? Is there a way to tell it not to? Can I still develop for Python 2.4 with PyOXIDE even if it's running in Python 2.3? Thanks, - Dave

(no subject)

I have a working project using Apple's python 2.3 and the PyObjC bridge. I would like to build a standalone application for my co- workers. As I understand it, this requires using a different python. So I installed python 2.4.1 using Bob Ippolito's installer. Since the PyObjC installer is set up for Apple's python, I built from source, following what I guess are old instructions I used: python setup.py bdist_mpkg --open not.. /usr/local/bin/python setup.py install (sym link to python2.4 sym link to binary) I went back and did the latter, don't know if that screws things up. I thought py2app was supposed to be there but it wasn't, python 2.4 can't import py2app. I finally got py2app as an installer from pythonmac.org/packages (for py2.4). Now I get this error trying to build my program: TE-G4-PB:~/PyGeneFinder.EC telliott$ sudo /usr/local/bin/python setup.py install Password: running install running build running install_data error: mkpath: 'name' must be a string (got u'/Library/Frameworks/ Python.framework/Versions/2.4/English.lproj') What am I doing wrong? Thanks. Tom Elliott

Los Angeles Python Users' Group, anyone?
by Morten Bagai Nov. 18, 2005

Nov. 18, 2005

Posted this to comp.lang.python as well, but since I use Python on OS X myself, I thought I'd give it a go here as well... Hi, I was rifling through python.org to see if there was an existing Python user's group for the Los Angeles area. Doesn't seem like it, so maybe we should start one? I'm interested in helping with the coordination of activities etc. Since everybody living in greater L.A. area is likely to have superhuman tolerance for traffic and commuting times, I see no reason why an L.A users' group couldn't cover the whole LA/Valley/Burbank/Glendale/Pasadena/Long Beach/etc sprawl. Anyone interested, please email me at: m AT bagai DOT com Thanks! /Morten
