confirmation that duplicity can work on OSX ?
by Arone Silimantia Sept. 18, 2006

Sept. 18, 2006

Hello, I am having trouble running duplicity: http://duplicity.nongnu.org/ on OSX (10.4). I can provide details and error messages, but before I do that, can anyone confirm that this works _at all_ on OSX ? If anyone is successfully using it, or knows of its successful use on OSX, please let me know - any comments or suggestions are appreciated. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Howdy all numerical and scientific visualization programmers Charlie Moad has released OS-X binaries of matplotlib 87.5 and numpy 1.0b5 here: http://euclid.uits.iupui.edu/mplfiles/ These are slightly newer than the ones on pythonmac.org/packages, and more importantly they're compatible with one another. I'm posting this notice on Charlie's behalf. Any questions should be routed to him directly: cwmoad**at**gmail**dt**com -Brendan __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: [Pythonmac-SIG] Pythonmac-SIG Digest, Vol 41, Issue 9
by David Donachie Sept. 12, 2006

Sept. 12, 2006

Hi all I've had no responses so far to my message about not being able to run IDLE, is there some other place I can go for help with it? For reference I am using OS 10.3.9 and installed Python 2.4.3 as instructed on the install page. I then tried to run IDLE, which produced a console error about not being able to find TKInter. I then installed the TkAqua package from the Python install page and tried again. Now IDLE runs, but then hangs as soon as I click on anything (window, menu etc.) and never recovers. What do I need to do to get IDLE to run? David

universal python; how to use my aqua tcl/tk?
by Russell E. Owen Sept. 12, 2006

Sept. 12, 2006

I just changed to the universal python 2.4.3 (I had been using activestate's 2.4.3) as part of moving to releasing universal builds of code. Everything is fine except it's using Tiger's built in ancient version of Aqua Tcl/Tk instead instead of version 8.4.11 that I installed myself (in /Library/Frameworks). Is there some trick to getting it to use my version? -- Russell

Re: [Pythonmac-SIG] SWIG problem -> solved

Hi, the hinted problems of wrong version and threads where not the cause. Linking on OSX is a very diverse subject and I did some trial and error for a simple example. The final solution was -flat_namespace. Cheers, Torsten

help for newbie... anybody?
by Matt Coneybeare Sept. 12, 2006

I just want to use xcode for my ide (I realize that python is simple enough to run without one but I still would like to use xcode) and i have tried to google for an answer. Everything points to pyobjc and py2app but I dont want to make applications in obj-c I just want to be able to put *.py into xcode, press compile and run, and run it in the console while aslo being able to debug. Can anybody help me do this? A template maybe? Instructions of commands to make my own template? I would really appreciate any help. Thanks ----------------------------- Matt Coneybeare http://coneybeare.net

py2app question: Resources/Python -> Resources/lib/python2.4
by Russell E. Owen Sept. 11, 2006

Sept. 11, 2006

I was using an older version of py2app to distribute an application. This placed the python library code in TUI.app/Contents/Resources/Python/ I just upgraded to py2app 0.3.5 and now I find the same stuff is being put in TUI.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python2.4/ This change breaks my code because resource files need to go in the same location, though I can certainly modify the code that copies the resource files. My main question is: am I seeing this change because I'm doing something wrong (in which case I'd like to fix it)? Or is it just the new way to do things (in which case I can modify my resource copying code)? If it's the new way to do things, is there a recommended way to find this directory automatically (or copy directory trees of files into it automatically without knowing its name) -- to insulate myself against future such changes? -- Russell
