Authentication via python?
by Benjamin Schollnick Aug. 21, 2009

Aug. 21, 2009

Folks, I¹m working on some time machine scripting... In a gist, there is a .Backup.log file that I want to access via readline & python.... >From the MOSX gui, it appears some of the files require root access (eg. Authentication dialog pops up). Now, I am using the applet maker to compile the python to a GUI stub, so I can¹t SUDO the python script... Is there some method that I can use to authenticate via the python script internally? I¹m in the middle of a google search on this, but I am having no luck at refining my search phrase currently (Macintosh python authenticate)... - Benjamin

Re: [Pythonmac-SIG] Py2App and PyQT
by kelsolaar_fool＠hotmail.com Jan. 23, 2009

Ok the QtCore.so problem got solved by adding this line into the __boot__.py : sys.path = [os.path.join(os.environ['RESOURCEPATH'], 'lib', 'python2.5', 'lib-dynload')] + sys.path Now I'm facing another really annoying problem : I need at some point to load jpeg images into my program and Qt jpeg support is done from a plugin library : libqjpeg.dylib under MacOsX and qjpeg4.dll on Windows. On Windows in order to make my packaged program use it (compiling with py2exe) I include a qt.conf file at the root of my software with this as content : [Paths] Prefix = ./PyQt4 Binaries = . and the dll is here : PyQt4\plugins\imageformats\qjpeg4.dll This is working fine, I tried the same or a lot of different locations and combinations on MacOsX and everything failed, resulting in blank thumbnails in my program. That is really annoying and can really compromise the release of it on Mac. Hope someone as an idea ? Thanx, Thomas

py2app- python code packed in clear ascii
by the Shelter Nov. 20, 2008

Nov. 20, 2008

Hi, after a lot of python programming on linux and windows I have now taken up the task of converting/ adapting my apps (python/wxPython) to the mac. I tried to bundle my apps w/ py2app but had to find out that it seems like it packs my sources in clear ascii and not in binary form- somewhat unusual after having worked w/ py2exe ... Am I missing something? Right now I am on 10.4 w/ latest python and py2app- all from python.org- not the Apple versions. thanX

by Sarah Ring Nov. 3, 2008

Nov. 3, 2008

Hello, I'm a student, and I'm trying to turn just a simple python file into a .app with py2app. I installed py2app and it makes a .app folder, but it won't open for some reason. when I try "open hello.app" i get this error: LSOpenFromURLSpec() failed with error -10810 for the file /Users/***/Documents/epics/Fall08/hello.app Does anyone know what this means and how to resolve it? Thank you!

py2app doesn't work with virtualenv on Leopard
by Gary Bernhardt Oct. 31, 2008

Oct. 31, 2008

I can't seem to get py2app to build an app in a virtualenv on Leopard. The "python setup.py py2app" command always fails in the same way with the exception show below. You can reproduce the problem by: 1. Create and activate a new virtualenv using the system Python (I used virtualenv 1.3 and my system Python is 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Apr 15 2008, 22:57:26)) 2. Try to build the TinyTinyEdit example (I used the version in svn trunk) I did this on multiple Leopard machines, and on a fresh account, to verify that I hadn't broken my global Python install somehow. I find it hard to believe that py2app doesn't work with virtualenv, but I've run out of ideas as to what I could be doing wrong. Is anyone using these two together?

py2app and plist entries
by Joe Strout Oct. 31, 2008

Oct. 31, 2008

I tried py2app on my wxPython for the first time today, expecting it to be a long and painful chore -- and was pleasantly surprised that it worked right off the bat. Now I'm wondering a bit about options, mainly for things that end up in the Info.plist file. I do see that I could build my own Info.plist and specify it with the --plist option, but I really don't believe that I know better than it does what should be in that file; I just want to tweak a couple of things, like the bundle identifier. I see how to set the icon file, but no way to set the bundle identifier, version strings, etc. Is there any way to do so? Also, the py2app help says that I can give --plist a dict. Anybody have an example of that? And do the options I give it that way become the entire Info.plist, or do they just override the corresponding entries of the autogenerated one? Finally, it also says --plist can be a "plistlib.Plist". What's that? Thanks, - Joe

py3-appscript

Hi all, For you interest, as part of prepping appscript 0.19.0 for release this week I've been porting it to Python 3.0 and have just done an initial check-in of the libraries, tests and some samples, which you're welcome to take a look at: svn co http://appscript.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/appscript/py3-appscript/trunk py3-appscript Documentation will be largely unchanged from the Python 2.x version, and I'll get it done shortly, along with the remaining sample scripts. Only major difference is that raw AE codes are bytes objects instead of str (only an issue if you're dipping into the lower-level aem APIs). Enjoy, has -- Control AppleScriptable applications from Python, Ruby and ObjC: http://appscript.sourceforge.net

Making thin app with py2app
by Hubert Hickman Oct. 31, 2008

Is there a flag for py2app that allows one to make a thin binary (Intel only)? I am building an app with the Oracle Instant Client, which is Intel only. Thanks! Hubert Hickman hubert.hickman(a)gmail.com

MySQLdb on OS X?
by Joe Strout Oct. 30, 2008

Oct. 30, 2008

I'm trying to get a project that uses MySQL going on OS X. Apparently Apple's default installation of Python doesn't include MySQLdb, so I downloaded it from <http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=22307 >, checked that mysql_config is in my path, and then did a "python setup.py build". This did a number of copies, and then failed while trying to build the '_mysql' extension: building '_mysql' extension creating build/temp.macosx-10.5-i386-2.5 gcc -fno-strict-aliasing -Wno-long-double -no-cpp-precomp -mno-fused- madd -fno-common -dynamic -DNDEBUG -g -Os -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes - DMACOSX -I/usr/include/ffi -DENABLE_DTRACE -pipe - Dversion_info=(1,2,2,'final',0) -D__version__=1.2.2 -I/usr/local/mysql/ include -I/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/ include/python2.5 -c _mysql.c -o build/temp.macosx-10.5-i386-2.5/ _mysql.o -Os -arch i386 -fno-common In file included from /usr/local/mysql/include/mysql.h:47, from _mysql.c:40: /usr/include/sys/types.h:92: error: duplicate ‘unsigned’ /usr/include/sys/types.h:92: error: two or more data types in declaration specifiers error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1 So, my questions are: 1. Is this the best way to be accessing MySQL databases from Python on the Mac, or is there an easier approach I've overlooked? 2. If this is it, then does anyone have a clue how to fix the error above? 3. Or, does anyone already have a prebuilt MySQLdb package for OS X? Thanks, - Joe

Re: [Pythonmac-SIG] Python 2.6 / appscript 0.18.1 DeprecationWarnings fix

Thanks for the feedback. Yes, I ran into this issue a couple weeks back while testing against Python 2.6 and have fixed it in the svn repository trunk. I've also fixed a Unicode problem caused by changes in how 2.6's UTF-16 codecs behave on OS X (a known issue), so if you're using 2.6 then I recommend installing the latest revision from svn if possible: svn checkout http://appscript.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/appscript/py-appscript/trunk py-appscript-trunk BTW, I'm aiming to get the long awaited 0.19.0 (beta 1) release out this week (I'd hoped to have it out sooner but I'm still polishing details), and will post an announcement when that happens.
