does pkg_resources think that "macosx-10.3" is incompatible with 10.5?
by zooko Dec. 17, 2007

Folks: It appears that eggs built on Mac OS 10.4 are produced with filenames containing "macosx-10.3", like this: http://pypi.python.org/packages/2.5/s/simplejson/simplejson-1.7.3- py2.5-macosx-10.3-fat.egg but that if you try to easy_install such a package on Mac OS 10.5, it will deem that egg to be incompatible with the current platform and will instead try to install from a source tarball if it can find one. (On the other hand if you install that egg on Mac OS 10.4, it will work.) PJE reports that the platform versioning code for OS X was contributed by someone other than he to pkg_resources, and that he doesn't know how it works, except that it reads /usr/bin/sw_vers. Does anyone know if there is a good reason for Python running on 10.5 to reject binaries built on 10.4, and if not what would be required to make this version check pass? Here is a ticket on the allmydata.org tahoe project about this issue: http://allmydata.org/trac/tahoe/ticket/212 (Tahoe is a new distributed, cryptographically protected filesystem. It's super cool. Check it out.) Thanks! Regards, Zooko

Re: [Pythonmac-SIG] appscript create new iphoto album

You have to use its weird, non-standard 'new album' command (which returns a broken reference, btw, so don't use that): app('iPhoto').new_album(name='New Album') http://bugreport.apple.com if you'd like to file a report or three.

Re: [Pythonmac-SIG] Problem (and workaround) with XCode and Python projects - non ascii characters in user's name

Hraban - Sure, that fixes the problem right away... sorry I mentioned the workaround in the title, but didn't write what the workaround was. However Apple needs to fix the template, since someone that just starts using XCode may be thrown off by the cryptic message *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException' Only if you are comfortable with the development environment you'll be able to drill down and find the source of the problem.

Problem (and workaround) with XCode and Python projects - non ascii characters in user's name
by Juan C. Méndez Nov. 27, 2007

Nov. 27, 2007

When a new project is created, XCode takes the user name and pre-fills the headers of the source files. In Python projects, this creates a problem if the user's name has non ascii characters (like accents). The problem is that the application builds and fails with these messages like the ones below in the console. 11/18/07 12:10:36 AM kkpycd[33468] *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: '/Users/jcmendez/kkpycd/main.m:44 main() PyRun_SimpleFile failed with file '/Users/jcmendez/kkpycd/build/Release/kkpycd.app/Contents/Resources/main.py'. See console for errors.' 11/18/07 12:10:36 AM kkpycd[33468] Stack: ( 2490802795, 2487529627, 2490802251, 2490802314 ) Tracking the problem it's possible to see that: 11/18/07 12:11:11 AM [0x0-0xb40b4].com.yourcompany.kkpy2[95313] SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character '\x8e' in file /Users/jcmendez/kkpy2/build/Release/kkpy2.app/Contents/Resources/kkpy2AppDelegate.py on line 5, but no encoding declared; see http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0263.html for details Not a big deal, but may deter many Python folks from writing Cocoa apps. Already filed a bug report with Apple, but thought it may be interesting to post in this list as well. Juan C.

leopard, cannot locate pyobjc modules
by Anmo Kim Nov. 27, 2007

Nov. 27, 2007

Hi all, I recently upgraded my os from tiger to leopard, and got some problems in using pyobjc there. I get the following error when i try "python setup.py install" for any Cocoa application on the example folder. (i.e. from /Developer/Examples/Python/PyObjC/Cocoa/AppKit/CurrencyConverter) [hs10kim4 CurrencyConverter]$ python setup.py install Traceback (most recent call last): File "setup.py", line 8, in <module> import py2app ImportError: No module named py2app I got into problem with other modules, such as objc and foundation. I might have screwed up something when i upgrade my os. I suppose there must be a folder for these lost modules. For example, I can locate "numpy" folder under "/Library/FrameWorks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages", and if i get rid of it, i cannot import numpy anymore. Could somebody help me to install those lost modules? I would really appreciate all this help. Regards, Anmo

Any hints on building libpng universal?
by David Warde-Farley Nov. 26, 2007

Nov. 26, 2007

Hi again, I'm trying to build a universal libpng package at the moment for use with matplotlib from pythonmac.org/packages. There's an older version up on undefined.org that's referred to in some mailing list postings but there've been some major security holes fixed since then, so I've been trying to automate the process of building a gcc complains about the '-M' flag being used with multiple -arch flags, and so I've compiled twice and am stitching them together with lipo. One thing I'm not sure about is the "libpng12.la" file, which I can't seem to combine. I've never been totally clear on the difference between .a and .la archives, but there does seem to be one. Any hints? I will of course post the build script and an URL for the package once I'm sure it works. David
