Re: [Pythonmac-SIG] newbie Mac switcher trying to set up django on Intel MacBook Pro Tiger

Now that there are several people that want to support Apple's build of python: how do we go forward from here? I think we should start a small project for "MacPython Addons", this project will install: * Hotfix for distutils to ensure that distutils builds univeral binaries (32-bit only at first) * (possibly) hotfix to ensure that you can install '-fat-' eggs on 10.5 * /Applications/Python-2.5/IDLE.app In there future we could add other changes, such as a 'python64' command for running python in 64-bit code. IMHO this should be done only when we have patches python.org tree that enable 4-way universal builds on Leopard, otherwise we'd have a real risk of loosing these changes in a future version.

Yeah, Illustrator-returned references are pretty fragile, although it's less of an issue if you create an object then apply all of your desired transformations to it before you create the next one. > Can I refere to my created objects via names (self.name)? IIRC, objects aren't named by default; however you could generate your own unique names easily enough. Assign each object a unique name via the 'make' command's 'with properties' parameter, and then use that name in any future references you construct yourself.

py2app and command line options

Hey all, I've got a py2app bundle working nicely, and it works fine when I fire ti up from the command line, but when I double click on it, I get a sys.argv that looks like: sys.argv is: ['/Users/cbarker/HAZMAT/hazweb/trunk/cameo/StandAlone/dist/cameo_standalone.app/Contents/Resources/cameo_standalone.py', '-psn_0_21364737'] Where is that "-psn_0_21364737" coming from, and how to I get rid of it? My setup.py: from setuptools import setup Plist={} APP = ['../bin/cameo_standalone.py'] DATA_FILES = ['CameoWeb.icns', '../cameo.durus', '../static'] OPTIONS = {'argv_emulation': False, # this puts the names of dropped files into sys.argv when starting the app. 'iconfile': 'CameoWeb.icns', 'plist': Plist, # 'packages': ['cameo'],# this works, but includes a lot of extra stuff 'packages': [], } setup( app=APP, data_files=DATA_FILES, #version=cameo.__version__, description="Cameo Chemicals database stand alone application", author="NOAA Emergency Response Division", author_email="ORR.CAMEO(a)noaa.gov", options={'py2app': OPTIONS}, setup_requires=['py2app'], ) Thanks, -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (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

Something to watch out for as well is system updates resetting these to their defaults. Best Ed

Re: [Pythonmac-SIG] Py2App and adding paths to sys.path

Yes, I could, but then the entire package gets included, not just the pyc files that I need -- not really a big deal, but it doesn't seem as clean as it could be. > As for the durus database, i've had problems with py2app bundling zope > in the past. I think I've got this figure out. The database itself is created with a separate program. This program just reads it. However, it needs to have all the modules that were used to create the database in order to unpickle the objects in the database. py2app didn't include this module, because it's imported on unpickling, and therefor never explicitly on an import line. Solution: Force the inclusion of the module at hand. the module I need is: cameo.model.reactivity However, I tried that with: OPTIONS = {... 'packages': ['cameo.model'], ... } but what got put in the package was: model so that it would import as: model.reactivity so I did: 'packages': ['cameo'], which did work, but then I got ALL of the cameo package, including both .py and .pyc files, plus most of them were included in the site_packages zip file anyway. I'd think there'd be a way to specify a single module to be included in the site_packages zip -- WITH the same package structure (in this case, cameo.model. was there, with other modules, just not this one. Anyway, the solution for now is just to put a: import cameo.model.reactivity line in one of the main modules of the app, so now py2app is finding it. It seems there should be a more elegant way, though. -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (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

Py2App and adding paths to sys.path
by Christopher Barker Jan. 29, 2008

Jan. 29, 2008

Hi all, I'm trying to bundle up a pretty complicated app. During the app's initialization, a path is added to sys.path, so that it can see the app's "library" code: app_root = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath( os.path.realpath(__file__)))) app_lib_dir = os.path.join(app_root, "lib") sys.path.insert(0, app_lib_dir) So it looks to see where the initialization file lives, then it adds the "lib" dir relative to that. This clearly won't work right with py2app. My solution, so far, is to wrap the above in a "if sys.frozen is not None" call, so it doesn't run. Then, I added that path in the top of my setup.py, so py2app can find all the modules it needs. This works mostly OK with the app bundle, but doesn't work when I try to run in alias mode, which I'd really like to be able to do. Also, while it mostly works with the app bundle, I am having some trouble with the durus database, which uses pickles -- I think it's having trouble finding the modules it needs to unpickle some stuff. I'll need to dig into this deeper, but it seems maybe I'm just not doing this right. Suggestions welcome. -CHB -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (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
