However, it does work, on PPC, with the packages for the 2.4.1 Framework build. If you use it on Intel, however, you're stuck with building everything yourself, and I don't know how universally that works. I'd be inclined to wait until we have a core of commonly used packages available. -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer NOAA/OR&R/HAZMAT (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception Chris.Barker(a)noaa.gov

PyXML install problems
by Todd O'Bryan April 4, 2006

April 4, 2006

I just posted this to XML-SIG, but someone suggested the Mac list would be more helpful. (Aren't the Mac lists always more helpful?) Anyway... I have Mac OS X, 10.4.6 (updated this morning) with the new Python 2.4.3 Universal Binary just released at python.org. I'm trying to install PyXML, but having problems. It appears that, for some reason, gcc is not looking in /usr/include for header files. I've tried looking through setup.py to see what was going on, but I'm a Python newbie and just got lost in the code. For reference, /usr/include/limits.h does exist, and which gcc produces /usr/bin/gcc which is a link to /usr/bin/gcc-4.0 which seems to be the binary. Any ideas? Output of python setup.py build is given below. Thanks, Todd running build running build_py running build_ext building '_xmlplus.parsers.pyexpat' extension gcc -arch ppc -arch i386 -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk - fno-strict-aliasing -Wno-long-double -no-cpp-precomp -mno-fused-madd - fno-common -dynamic -DNDEBUG -g -DXML_NS=1 -DXML_DTD=1 - DBYTEORDER=4321 -DXML_CONTEXT_BYTES=1024 -DHAVE_MEMMOVE=1 - Iextensions/expat/lib -I/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/ 2.4/include/python2.4 -c extensions/pyexpat.c -o build/ temp.macosx-10.4-fat-2.4/extensions/pyexpat.o gcc: installation problem, cannot exec 'i686-apple-darwin8- gcc-4.0.0': No such file or directory In file included from extensions/pyexpat.c:5: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/include/python2.4/ Python.h:18:20: error: limits.h: No such file or directory /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/include/python2.4/ Python.h:21:2: error: #error "Something's broken.

future of python/w
by Charles Hartman April 4, 2006

April 4, 2006

I remember this came up recently, but I don't know where it's coming out: Is it likely that the python/pythonw distinction will disappear? I ask because I have to write a getting-started sheet for some students taking up Python, on various platforms. I know that any time I can eliminate a branch, incomprehension diminishes by 36.8%, so getting rid of "If you're on a Mac, this line should end with 'pythonw' rather than 'python' …" would be nice.

problem linking app with embedded Python
by Andrew Trevorrow April 3, 2006

April 3, 2006

I recently added Python scripting to our app (an open source, cross-platform Life app called Golly; see http://golly.sourceforge.net/ if you're interested). Based on what I read at http://pythonmac.org/wiki/FAQ (excellent resource BTW), our makefile uses these variables when compiling and linking: PYTHON_INCLUDE = -I`python -c "import distutils.sysconfig; print distutils.sysconfig.get_python_inc()"` PYTHON_LINK = `python -c "import distutils.sysconfig; print distutils.sysconfig.get_config_var('LINKFORSHARED')"` This works fine on OS 10.3.9, but on an Intel Mac running OS 10.4.5 the link step fails because PYTHON_LINK is set to this: -u __dummy -u _PyMac_Error -framework System Python.framework/Versions/2.3/Python -framework CoreServices -framework Foundation Does anybody know why it contains "Python.framework/Versions/2.3/Python" rather than "-framework Python"? I can fix the problem by explicitly using PYTHON_LINK = -u __dummy -u _PyMac_Error -framework System -framework Python -framework CoreServices -framework Foundation but presumably that's not a good long-term solution. This is my first project using gcc, makefiles, frameworks, Python, etc, so I'm still somewhat foggy about lots of things. Any advice would be much appreciated! Andrew

Numpy Scipy and Darwinports
by Jaonary Rabarisoa April 2, 2006

April 2, 2006

Hi all, I'd like to build numpy and scipy with the gcc 4.1 provided by darwinport (I fact, they need a fortran compiler). How can I do to change the compiler to be used with distutils ? I've tried something like this : python setup.py build --compiler=gcc-dp-4.1 ( all the file installed with darwinports have the suffix -dp-4.1) but I didn't work. Thank you for your advice. Best Regards, Jaonary

SQLite & python
by Dan Grassi March 31, 2006

March 31, 2006

Hi, I am totally confused by all the versions and name conflicts of py- sqlite and sqlite not to mention the python version confusion. What I really want to do is use both sqlite version 2 and sqlite version 3 since I have existing sqlite version2 DBs and new CoreData apps that use sqlite version 3. From a version/nomenclature standpoint there is a huge mess eg: py-sqlite works with either sqlite 2 or sqlite 3 and py-sqlite2 works with sqlite version 3. I have been using py-sqlite with sqlite version 2 successfully. First problem I see is that there are two version of Python on my Tiger system: /usr/bin/python version 2.3.5 /usr/local/bin/python version 2.4.1 Second problem: The (Apple) installed version of sqlite3 is 3.0.8.6 py-sqlite 2.1 requires sqlite 3.2.2 py-sqlite 2.0 requires sqlite 3.1 py-sqlite 1.1 requires sqlite 3.x So it seems that py-sqlite 1.1 is the one I need. If I install it my installed py-sqlite that used the python sqlite version 2 gets overwritten, not nice. It also seems to get instaslled in the python 2.3 library, also not nice. If I go to darwin ports it wants to upgrade my python to 2.4.2 first. Does anyone have a solution? All in all the whole Python database (lack of) mess is ridiculous! I know that Guido does not feel that databases have any place in python but I don't get it, why does the "batteries included" not include database support, databases like MySQL, PostgreSQL & SQLite? At this point I am ready to mostly give up on Python after over 10 years of use and evangelizing. Dan

Bulding numpy with the Universal Build
by Christopher Barker March 31, 2006

March 31, 2006

Hi all, I'm embarking on the project of building the various packages I need with the new Universal Build. I've set up a Wiki page to keep track of what I (and others) have done. Please take a look if you are interested, and add your own work. http://pythonmac.org/wiki/UniversalPackages -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer NOAA/OR&R/HAZMAT (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception Chris.Barker(a)noaa.gov
