readline support for OS X Leopard
by Noah Gift Nov. 21, 2007

Nov. 21, 2007

I have been getting ready for the official leopard release in a few days, and have been a bit worried about readline support. I forgot what I did to get it to work for IPython, which I absolutely cannot live without anymore. Is there a plan for a Leopard binary that fixes readline, or can I help someone prepare some documentation on getting readline working properly. I don't have a lot of time during the next couple of weeks to get into compile hell, but if someone has any easy fix to get readline to work, I would greatly appreciate it.

Eclipse + SWT + Python
by Scott Frankel Nov. 20, 2007

Nov. 20, 2007

Is anyone on this list using Eclipse with Python and the SWT windowing kit? I've been looking through the MacPython.org and Eclipse pages for info on combining Python and SWT. So far, I've read about the PyDev plugin that allows Eclipse to speak Python. I'd like to know if PyDev would allow me to use Python to build SWT projects. If not, can Python methods can be invoked from within an SWT Java project. Ultimately, I'm looking for a windowing toolkit that uses native widgets, one that can provide a high level of visual polish, that can be built for multiple OS's and platforms, and that plays nicely with Python. Thanks in advance! Scott

Anyone playing with CoreAnimation yet?
by Jack Jansen Nov. 20, 2007

Nov. 20, 2007

I've just realised how powerful CoreAnimation is, and I want to start playing with it, especially with the interaction of CoreAnimation CALayer with "classic" AppKit views and how to treat events, etc. Is anyone else here using it, and/or interested in sharing experience? -- Jack Jansen, <Jack.Jansen(a)cwi.nl>, http://www.cwi.nl/~jack If I can't dance I don't want to be part of your revolution -- Emma Goldman

MySQLdb on 2.5?
by David Warde-Farley Nov. 20, 2007

Nov. 20, 2007

Hi folks, I went looking for a Universal Binary of MySQL-python (aka MySQLdb) now that I moved over to 2.5. Saw that there wasn't on undefined, so attempted to build myself. I get some rather weird stuff, that when googled only produces one slightly relevant result at http:// tinyurl.com/2ah45v . Output: ---------------------- ~/Desktop/MySQL-python-1.2.2$ python setup.py build running build running build_py copying MySQLdb/release.py -> build/lib.macosx-10.3-fat-2.5/MySQLdb running build_ext building '_mysql' extension gcc -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk -fno-strict-aliasing - Wno-long-double -no-cpp-precomp -mno-fused-madd -fno-common -dynamic - DNDEBUG -g -O3 -Dversion_info=(1,2,2,'final',0) -D__version__=1.2.2 - I/usr/local/mysql/include -I/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/ Versions/2.5/include/python2.5 -c _mysql.c -o build/temp.macosx-10.3- fat-2.5/_mysql.o -Os -arch ppc64 -fno-common In file included from /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/ 2.5/include/python2.5/Python.h:57, from pymemcompat.h:10, from _mysql.c:29: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/include/python2.5/ pyport.h:734:2: error: #error "LONG_BIT definition appears wrong for platform (bad gcc/glibc config?)."

Has anyone got the patch kicking around that was used to build the 2.4 UB package? Thanks, David

P4Python, MySQLdb, or Python Extensions
by Lyndsey Ferguson Nov. 19, 2007

Nov. 19, 2007

Hello everyone, Short time lurker, first time poster. I'm trying to install P4Python and MySQLdb, but am running into a host of issues. The trouble I've had trying to install these two and the number of similar experiences I've read through googling leads me to believe that Python can be difficult on the Mac. I will talk about P4Python as it seems to be the easier of the two. I'm trying to compile the given c++ file to build a Python Extension, but the setup.py doesn't work as it should be linking in CoreFoundation, but it is not. ImportError: Failure linking new module: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/site-packages/P4Client.so: Symbol not found: ___CFConstantStringClassReference Referenced from: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/site-packages/P4Client.so Expected in: dynamic lookup I tried to use Xcode to build something that can go where the site-packages go. But I have no idea what to build. It is not a dynamic library, it is not a relocatable object, I get this error when I try to import: Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? File "p4.py", line 19, in ? import P4Client ImportError: Inappropriate file type for dynamic loading Has anyone done this? How do I build a Python Extension using Xcode? Or perhaps even better, how do I get setup.py to work on the Mac? Thanks for any and all tips! Lyndsey Ferguson

problem with py2app and OpenGL
by Chreston Miller Nov. 14, 2007

Nov. 14, 2007

Hello all, I am trying to use py2app to create a nice app from a decent sized project that uses many other libraries and some python eggs. It runs fine in alias mode (no surprise) and I am getting a strange error in non-alias mode. First we had to unpack the python egg for PyOpenGL for py2app to recognize PyOpenGL modules. Then I had to copy the python include directory (/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/include/) to my ./dist/main.app/Contents/Resources/ directory (where main.app is the name of my app). Then when running, I get the error: Error building the background: No array-type handler for type <type 'tuple'> (value: (1, 1, 0.5)) registered This error is reported to the Console and my program does run, but all the OpenGL stuff does not show up. So it seems there is some dependency missing even though it claims everything works fine (program runs). Any ideas for a solution would be greatly appreciated. Chreston
