In that case, we try to build it statically linked with those. This gets tricky with the Universal build, as you need the dependencies to be Universal too. -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

Problems with MacPython packages at pythonmac.org - numpy, scipy, matplotlib
by Adam Bull Oct. 2, 2006

Oct. 2, 2006

Hi, I'm told this is the right place to discuss problems with the packages at pythonmac.org? There are a few things that need fixing: The supplied version of scipy, 1.5.0, doesn't work with the supplied version of of numpy, 1.0b5; it gives an error when importing. Updating numpy to 1.0rc1 would fix the problem. The matplotlib package, by default, uses the WXAgg backend, which is rather buggy, and frequently freezes on my machine. However, TkAgg works fine; compiling with TkAgg as the default would make things easier for users, and also remove the dependency on wxPython. Thanks to whoever maintains the packages, by the way, they're very handy! Adam.

building statically with bdist_mpkg
by listservs＠mac.com Oct. 2, 2006

Oct. 2, 2006

I've looked around for some docs on how to do this, but was unsuccessful: How do you build statically using bdist_mpkg? At the moment, I am building manually using python setup.py config -L ../staticlibs build install where staticlibs holds all of the libraries I need. I dont see how I can send these same arguments to bdist_mpkg. Thanks, -- Christopher Fonnesbeck + Atlanta, GA + fonnesbeck at mac.com + Contact me on AOL IM using email address

easy_install pyobjc: what about pyobjctools
by Michael Glassford Sept. 29, 2006

Sept. 29, 2006

I've just installed Python 2.5, then installed py2app and pyobjc using easy_install. My application built just fine, but when I run it I get the error "ImportError: No module named PyObjCTools" when it tries to execute the line "from PyObjCTools import AppHelper". How does PyObjCTools get installed when easy_installing pyobjc? Mike

Re: [Pythonmac-SIG] building pyopengl on Tiger?
by Josh Marshall Sept. 29, 2006

Sept. 29, 2006

As a side note to this discussion on building PyOpenGL 2.0, I'd like to mention that Mike Fletcher is working on OpenGL-ctypes, which is to become PyOpenGL 3.0. I am working on the Mac OS X porting work. Many of the simpler tests now run, but there are still many issues to be worked out. With regards to release times, Mike has said: > As far as timelines, I'm hoping to get an alpha out within the next > few > weeks. I expect it will take 1-2 months to get the alpha into a > releasable shape. I consider PyOpenGL 2.0 level functionality to be a > basic requirement, I also want to have decent support for the major > extensions and OpenGL 2.0 features. So if anyone uses PyOpenGL on the Mac, please check it out from CVS and bang on it a bit.

Does anyone know how to build PyOpenGL on OSX 10.4? I'm getting loads of compiler errors. It should be possible to do this because there's a universal build of pyopengl on the pythonmac.org site. Ronald

Why Do I Explicitly Need MacPython
by Robert Love Sept. 26, 2006

Sept. 26, 2006

I see version 2.5 is released today. I see there is a packaged version called MacPython. My question is why do I need it? Or rather if I install it, what happens to my existing python that came with OSX? I see that by default MacPython installs in /usr/local/bin but what about the frameworks that came with OSX developer. Are they still used? I'd like a simple explanation of what MacPython does for me and my existing installation. I did check the FAQ but didn't see any thing like this. Thanks for all info.

py2app question -- resources?
by Stephen Waterbury Sept. 26, 2006

Sept. 26, 2006

My app reads some of its core structures from a set of RDF files. I have been keeping the RDF files in a directory within the distribution, but it would be okay to have them in my app's home directory, say ~/.my_app, when the package is installed or when the user starts it up (the latter probably making the most sense on systems that are designed to be multi-user), but haven't yet got either way to work with py2app. The new setuptools' pkg_resources API looked pretty good, so I'm using it to pull data out of the RDF files with 'resource_stream'. It works in my development environment on Linux that has been configured with 'setup.py development', and it also works on the Macintosh that way -- i.e., running the script in the development environment, where it can find the RDF files. But it doesn't work when I make a package using py2app. (I fudged it on mswin by having the Innosetup installer copy the files to the user's home directory and then finding the home directory at startup.) py2app's '--resources' option seems like what I need, but I can't seem to figure out the proper incantation, because when the app starts up I immediately get an error message that the files can't be found. I've attached the setup.py I'm using. Below is an excerpt from my code that uses resource_stream, which works fine when the files are in the place indicated. Any suggestions? (I did give the kb directory an __init__.py, even though there are no modules in it, and even tried putting the files into an __all__, but it had no effect on py2app.) Thanks!
