controlling iTunes with appscript
by Jamie Stuart Dec. 4, 2006

Dec. 4, 2006

Hi, I'm completely new to Python and something is evading me completely. I'm using appscript to add (and convert to mp3) a bunch of .aif files to iTunes. I also want to create a new playlist which they are all added to and then tagged. This is what I have at the moment: itunes = app(id='com.apple.itunes') itunes.run() itunes.make(new=k.playlist, with_properties={k.name:'New Playlist'}) addfile = itunes.add(Alias (outputfile), to=itunes.playlists['New Playlist']) convertfile = itunes.convert(addfile) itunes.delete(addfile) The resultant mp3 file doesn't appear in the playlist - only in the library. Also, how do I tag the files (title, artist, album?) as I can't see how this would be done. Another thing is how can I package up appscript so this thing can be distributed on CD-ROM? Any help much appreciated! Jamie

Does anyone on the planet know how to build python-2.5 (WITH READLINE)?
by Todd Thal Dec. 1, 2006

Dec. 1, 2006

I am having one "hades" of a heckuva time getting readline support for Python-2.5 on a Mac OS 10.4.8.8.0 with Xcode 2.3( Darwin Kernel Version 8.8.0; RELEASE_PPC Power Macintosh powerpc) I can get readline-5.2 (finally) to compile and build... Then I try build Python-2.5, with readline....by changing the /Modules/Setup file...to include readline... and I always get the below-mentioned error. I can NOT use the std' packages/path...as we use an absolute path for our server farm called, "/usr/lanl" EG /usr/lanl/packages <- where python/scipy/numpy/readline src has gone. /usr/lanl/bin /usr/lanl/include /usr/lanl/lib /usr/lanl/man This has been an EXTREME challenge on Mac 10.4 t. NOTE: I attempted to copy all files (esp *.o) over to my Python build dir, and it still fails...the following error, was the error before doing that...

printing in a PyObjC Document-based app
by Tom Elliott Nov. 30, 2006

Nov. 30, 2006

I have a PyObjC Document-based Application set up by Xcode (2.4). When I build the default project, but and then change the document window to contain an NSTableView, the app prints the data from the TableView. I would like to take charge of the print operation to print a modified version of the view. According to the docs, for a Cocoa app, my "NSDocument subclass must override printShowingPrintPanel: to create and run the print operation for the document." A Cocoa Document-based Application will not print if you don't do this, whereas the PyObjC one doesn't need to do this (and in fact won't call the method if I do override it in my NSDocument subclass). I thought of adding a modified Print item to the File menu, but I don't know how to connect the new menu item to my NSDocument subclass. In MainMenu.nib, File's Owner's class is NSApplication. I can set my NSDocument to be the App delegate, but there doesn't seem to be an appropriate delegate method for printing. I thought of trying to put my document at the front of the responder chain, but I can't get to the window. File's owner in the document.nib file has an outlet set to the window, but when I do "print self.window" from the document I get "None." What's the right way to do this? Thanks. Tom Elliott

module compiled against version 1000002 of C-API but this version of numpy is 1000009
by Teemu Rinne Nov. 27, 2006

Nov. 27, 2006

Hi, Installing python stuff on a new Intel Mac Pro 2.66 was a pleasure this time (not always so in the past...). Pythonmac.org/packages are great! However, there is something wrong with my installation/use of scipy/numpy: Python 2.4.4 (#1, Oct 18 2006, 10:34:39) [GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5341)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> #this works on my older installations >>> import matplotlib >>> matplotlib.use("TkAgg") >>> from pylab import * >>> from scipy import signal RuntimeError: module compiled against version 1000002 of C-API but this version of numpy is 1000009 Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/site-packages/scipy/signal/__init__.py", line 7, in ? import sigtools ImportError: numpy.core.multiarray failed to import That is, I have an out-of-box Mac and all the packages are downloaded from Pythonmac.org/packages. What am I missing? Is the current scipy package somehow incompatible with the other packages? How do I get scipy working too? Cheers, Teemu Rinne Dept Psychology Univ Helsinki

py2app iconfile not working?
by Tim Ansell Nov. 27, 2006

Nov. 27, 2006

Hello, I'm still trying to bundle my application with py2app. I've used the img2icns application (version 0.3) to create a icns file from a png file. However, when I use the "iconfile" option (either by --iconfile or 'py2app':{"iconfile": ...) the icon does not get applied to the bundle. I'm using MacOS X 10.3.9 with Python 2.4 and py2app 0.3.5 I am able to use the "copy and paste" method to put the icon onto the bundle. I seem to get an icon which looks like a couple of pieces of paper and pencil/ruler. Can anyone give me any hints on how to debug this problem? Tim Ansell

Getting an ugly icon?
by Chris Van Bael Nov. 27, 2006

Nov. 27, 2006

Hi, Whatever I try, I always get a very ugly icon in my Python program. What I do: Open Icon Composer, click on the 128x128 field and open an 180x180 icon. Let it rescale it and save it as an icns file. In Preview this icns file looks great. When I make an app with py2app it's included "--iconfile childsplay.py" However when I startup my program, it has a very ugly icon file. In the .app I see that the icns file is included. I once made the app with an ugly windows icon file, but I remove everything before I run py2app, so that would seem strange. And _some_ file is included, but it is really my icon, but very fugly! Thanks for any help. Chris

Request for Bundle Builder...
by Tim Ansell Nov. 27, 2006

Nov. 27, 2006

Hello, I have spent about 18 hours (over 3 days) trying to package my python application for Mac users. However, I can't seem to get it to work. I'm trying to use Mac OS X 10.3.9 and all the Mac developer tools seem to be for 10.4 or greater. The problems I have run into include; * The app won't run outside the dmg on some computers * Icon file won't be applied * Sometimes you have to open the dmg multiple times before the app runs * Massive sizes of over 80mb I'm sure the application should run in a bundle, it runs in a py2exe file and it runs when frozen under the MacMillian Installer. I was hoping somebody could help me out by become the builder of bundles for my application. Anyone who has packaged wx Python applications before shouldn't have any problems (and most probably has all the pre-requests installed as well). If you want to run the code you will need to do the following, * darcs * Python * wxPython 2.6 (or 2.7) * PIL * Numeric or NumArray Then mkdir tp cd tp darcs get --partial http://darcs.thousandparsec.net/repos/scratchpad darcs get --partial http://darcs.thousandparsec.net/repos/libtpproto-py darcs get --partial http://darcs.thousandparsec.net/repos/libtpclient-py darcs get --partial http://darcs.thousandparsec.net/repos/tpclient-pywx cd scratchpad sh setup.sh cd .. cd tpclient-pywx ./tpclient-pywx python setup.py py2app Thanks for your help.

Problems bundleing my application with py2app
by Tim Ansell Nov. 26, 2006

Nov. 26, 2006

Hello, I'm currently trying to bundle my wxPython application with py2app so it's easy for MacOS X users to run. I keep running into the following error on a few different modules. Traceback (most recent call last): File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/python2.3/site-packages/py2app-0.3.5-py2.3.egg/py2app/build_app.py", line 548, in _run self.run_normal() File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/python2.3/site-packages/py2app-0.3.5-py2.3.egg/py2app/build_app.py", line 618, in run_normal py_files, extensions = self.finalize_modulefinder(mf) File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/python2.3/site-packages/py2app-0.3.5-py2.3.egg/py2app/build_app.py", line 589, in finalize_modulefinder py_files, extensions = parse_mf_results(mf) File "build/bdist.darwin-7.9.0-Power_Macintosh/egg/modulegraph/find_modules.py", line 75, in parse_mf_results RuntimeError: Don't know how to handle ''/Users/tim/Desktop/source/libtpclient-py/client'' > /Users/tim/Desktop/source/tpclient-pywx/build/bdist.darwin-7.9.0-Power_Macintosh/egg/modulegraph/find_modules.py(75)parse_mf_results() (Pdb) I can't figure out what is causing it.
