Trouble with appscript install location
by Michael Toomim Nov. 15, 2006

Nov. 15, 2006

I just installed the latest appscript from the installer. However, it puts the appscript python libs into /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/site-packages/aeosa instead of /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/site-packages/aeosa This prevented the "from appscript import *" line from working in the hello world demo script. I was able to work around the problem by symlinking everything from aeosa/ to ./ This happened with the universal installers for python 2.4 and 2.5. Is this how it's supposed to work? Am I doing something wrong? Thanks, mike

bdist_mpkg question: getting pytz included with matplotlib
by Russell E. Owen Nov. 14, 2006

Nov. 14, 2006

I've been trying to build a proper matplotlib Mac binary with bdist_mpkg (from the command line) and thought I finally had it until I realized it was missing pytz. Any hints on how to get this included? FYI: in the resulting package there is a directory matplotlib-0.87.7-py2.5.egg-info In the files in that directory, pytz is listed in SOURCES.txt but not in top_level.txt and the pytz source is missing from the package. -- Russell

In need of an OS 10.4.8-compatible Universal binary built w/ gcc 3.3 (NOT 4.0)
by David L Goldsmith Nov. 14, 2006

Nov. 14, 2006

Hi! I'm experiencing a problem with scipy; its install notes say that it is not yet fully compatible with OSX and further say that in OSX one should ensure that one's gcc selection is set to 3.3. Mine is, but I noticed that the Universal build Python binary I downloaded and am using was built w/ gcc 4.0.1. Accordingly, I suspect this might be the basis of my problem - any idea where I might obtain an OSX-compatible Python built w/ gcc 3.3? Thanks!

scipy.optimize
by Jon Peirce Nov. 12, 2006

Nov. 12, 2006

I've tried installing numpy(1.0) and scipy(0.51) from Bob's repository of universal installers http://pythonmac.org/packages/py24-fat/index.html Most of the libs seem to work fine but I can't import optimize from scipy. On a PPC running python 2.4, OS X 10.4.8 I get the error message: > >>>from scipy import optimize > Traceback (most recent call last): > File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? > File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/ > python2.4/site-packages/scipy/optimize/__init__.py", line 7, in ? > from optimize import * > File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/ > python2.4/site-packages/scipy/optimize/optimize.py", line 25, in ? > import linesearch > File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/ > python2.4/site-packages/scipy/optimize/linesearch.py", line 3, in ? > import minpack2 > ImportError: Failure linking new module: /Library/Frameworks/ > Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/site-packages/scipy/ > optimize/minpack2.so: Symbol not found: _sprintf$LDBLStub > Referenced from: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/ > lib/python2.4/site-packages/scipy/optimize/minpack2.so > Expected in: dynamic lookup On an Intel Mac I get (the slightly different): > > File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/ > python2.4/site-packages/scipy/optimize/__init__.py", line 7, in ? > from optimize import * > File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/ > python2.4/site-packages/scipy/optimize/optimize.py", line 25, in ? > import linesearch > File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/ > python2.4/site-packages/scipy/optimize/linesearch.py", line 3, in ? > import minpack2 > ImportError: Inappropriate file type for dynamic loading Does anyone know why?

problem fixing Carbon.AE/CarbonX.AE conflicts
by has Nov. 11, 2006

Nov. 11, 2006

Hi all, Trying to eliminate the conflict that occurs between Carbon.AE and CarbonX.AE when both extensions are loaded. The problem is that both extensions need to export the following functions for use by other extensions: AEDesc_New, AEDesc_NewBorrowed and AEDesc_Convert. The logical solution is to rename the CarbonX functions and have the other appscript-related extensions (PSN, OSA, OSATerminology) refer to those instead. Unfortunately, when I try to do this, all I get is a bunch of 'symbol not found' errors on import: >>> import aem Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/ python2.4/site-packages/aeosa/aem/__init__.py", line 6, in ? from send import * File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/ python2.4/site-packages/aeosa/aem/send/__init__.py", line 11, in ? import connect File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/ python2.4/site-packages/aeosa/aem/send/connect.py", line 10, in ? import PSN ImportError: Failure linking new module: /Library/Frameworks/ Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/site-packages/aeosa/aem/ send/PSN.so: Symbol not found: __AEDescX_Convert Referenced from: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/ lib/python2.4/site-packages/aeosa/aem/send/PSN.so Expected in: dynamic lookup A py-appscript branch containing patches to _AEmodule.c and PSN.c is available here: svn checkout http://svn.macosforge.org/repository/appscript/py- appscript/branches/py-appscript-0.16.2 What am I doing wrong? I know my C's kinda ropey, but it's not usually this bad. Thanks, has -- http://freespace.virgin.net/hamish.sanderson/ http://appscript.sourceforge.net http://rb-appscript.rubyforge.org

SWIG / macports python24 question
by belinda thom Nov. 11, 2006

Nov. 11, 2006

Hello, I'm installing SWIG on OS X 10.4.8. Following the instructions in the README seem to work. My question is this. SWIG's configure script by default uses the Python delivered w/10.4 (2.3.5). I plan to use SWIG in the context of macports python24. Is this going to be a problem, and if so, what's the solution? Thanks, --b

Build of App Sucessfull, Crashes on Run....Only on my intel machine!
by Amish Patel Nov. 11, 2006

Nov. 11, 2006

Hey everyone, new to the list, but boy do i need your help. I have been working on a Powerbook G4, i had created my python based app in xcode, and have been working on it for a while with no problems what so ever. I just got a MacBookPro Core 2, and well this is the story: 1. I installed pythonmac 2.4.4 and pyobjc (1.4 installer - Universal), 2. I had to change the #! for the the n2 2.4 location -- after this stage the project finally compiled. 3. When i attempt to Build&Run my app this is what happneds. In my nib file i have a progress indicator outlet defined, and this object has a corresponding variable in my code. Upon execution of this code the following appears: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'startAnimation_' Now this occurs for basically ALL Cocoa variables and calls; They are for some reason None "objects", when they should not be. Is there something that I am doing to cause these errors. Because the same project builds and runs fine on my Powerbook. Any help. Amish Patel

Problems with py2app for i386
by Chris Van Bael Nov. 8, 2006

Nov. 8, 2006

Hi, I'm building an application on a PPC Mini in Python with PyGame. When I run "python setup.py py2app" I get a .app file made that runs on my (and other) PPC Macs. But it fails on Intel Macs. I presume these last lines I get have something to do with it: " /usr/bin/strip: for architecture i386 object: /Users/chrisvanbael/Childsplay/Sources/childsplay-0.84.1/dist/childsplay.app/Contents/MacOS/childsplay malformed object (unknown flavor for flavor number 0 in LC_UNIXTHREAD command 10 can't byte swap it) /usr/bin/strip: for architecture i386 object: /Users/chrisvanbael/Childsplay/Sources/childsplay-0.84.1/dist/childsplay.app/Contents/MacOS/python malformed object (unknown flavor for flavor number 0 in LC_UNIXTHREAD command 13 can't byte swap it) stripping saved 11991384 bytes (12298552 / 24289936) " Any ideas where my problem is; is it in my code or a problem of py2app or the strip application? Do I need to use the no-strip option or prefer-ppc for a universal binary? Thanks for any help. Chris

MacPython 2.5 installation error on MAC OS 10.4.5
by James Anderson Nov. 6, 2006

Nov. 6, 2006

Hi there, I've been having trouble getting python 2.5 installed on my mac running OS 10.4.5; hoping someone will be kind enough to point me in the right direction. The immediate problem is as follows: I can download the MacPython 2.5 .dmg, mount it and run the installer, but it seems to get right to the end and then say "There were errors installing the software. Please try installing again". The installer log then shows the following errors: BomFatalError - cpio read error: bad file format Package Authoring Error: Package "PythonFramework-2.5.pkg" is using a deprecated archive format. Running in compatibility mode. BomFatalError - cpio read error: bad file format Package Authoring Error: Package "PythonApplications-2.5.pkg" is using a deprecated archive format. Running in compatibility mode. BomFatalError - cpio read error: bad file format Package Authoring Error: Package "PythonUnixTools-2.5.pkg" is using a deprecated archive format. Running in compatibility mode. BomFatalError - cpio read error: bad file format Package Authoring Error: Package "PythonDocumentation-2.5.pkg" is using a deprecated archive format. Running in compatibility mode. Install failed: The following install step failed: run postflight script for Fix system Python It seems like that final error is the fatal one, but I've no idea how to go about fixing it. I have tried compiling from source as well, but ran into errors there too—figured I'd focus on trying to fix this first and only move on to the build error if necessary. Thanks in advance for any advice! Cheers, James Anderson

We could start with the Python binary itself and the wxPython binary at: http://www.wxpython.org/download.php#binaries We should be able to get numpy and mpl soon also.
