Custom Installation with Distutils
by newbie73 March 15, 2008

March 15, 2008

a week ago I was having some problems setting up my PATH variables, though now I seem to have the environment under control. I'd like to specify the location for all installed libraries - python.org mentions the use of .pydistutils.cfg. I placed this in ~/.pydistutils.cfg: install-base=$HOME/Code/python install-purelib=lib install-platlib=lib.$PLAT install-scripts=scripts install-data=data When I attempted to install setuptools with this configuration, the following error was thrown: error: install-base or install-platbase supplied, but installation scheme is incomplete Looks like the header location could have been missing, though I'm not really sure what else it could have been. Is there some other way to specify installation location that won't get lost when using SUDO?

Perhaps you're confusing them with the Python-Cocoa bridge, PyObjC? Thanks, has -- Control AppleScriptable applications from Python, Ruby and ObjC: http://appscript.sourceforge.net

pynomo
by Alan Curtis March 14, 2008

March 14, 2008

I would like to play with the pynomo package. I have installed the prerequisites using macports and the pynomo package using python setup.py install but get an error when I try to run the examples. $ python example_1.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "example_1.py", line 16, in <module> from pynomo import * File "/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/pynomo/nomograph.py", line 16, in <module> from nomo_axis import * File "/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/pynomo/nomo_axis.py", line 20, in <module> from pyx import * ImportError: No module named pyx I suspect that this is caused by some path related mismatch between the Leopard and macports pythons but don't know enough about python to fix it. Is there a simple fix?

Learning PyObjC/PyCocoa in XCode 3
by Jim McCormick March 11, 2008

March 11, 2008

I'm a somewhat seasoned Python coder, but my experience has been entirely on the command line. I'd like to start writing some programs with a GUI for the Mac, but all of the utilities I've seen regarding PyObjC and PyCocoa revolve around the XCode 2.x branch. I'm currently using Leopard, with the beta of XCode 3.1 that was recently made available. Can anyone point me to a resource that can help me get a handle on using Apple's development tools with Python that I don't have to spend three hours translating to my version of the toolchain?

problems with sys.path
by newbie73 March 10, 2008

March 10, 2008

Just installed Leopard (10.5) and have been configuring my python setup. First I installed python 2.5.2 from python.org and then began building the libraries I need to use (numpy/scipy, etc). After reading through the forums, I ran across the following fixes: placing a .pth file in /Library/Python/2.5/site-packages with code to insert my custom paths (including /library/python/2.5/site-packages) in the PYTHONPATH variable, yet they do not seem to appear. I have also placed environment.plist in ~/.MacOSX with a PYTHONPATH key which looks like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>DISPLAY</key> <string>:0.0</string> <key>PYTHONPATH</key> <string>/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages:</string> </dict> </plist> This also does not work. I'm a bit confused on what to do now to get my paths to appear in PYTHONPATH - anybody have any suggestions? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/problems-with-sys.path-tp15943321p15943321.html Sent from the Python - pythonmac-sig mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

distutils.errors.DistutilsFileError: file '/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c8-py2.5.egg/pkg_resources.pyc' does not exist
by Lukáš 'Spike' Polívka March 7, 2008

March 7, 2008

Hello! I'm trying to build an app bundle of Jabbim client [1] for Mac OS X using py2app & setuptools. I have followed py2app docs [2]. When I build an 'alias' (see Development with alias mode) mode app, I can run it. On the other hand, if I build for deployment (without -A flag), I get the following error/traceback: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/var/folders/Eg/Egf28uy-E94kLa7x5eHVp++++TI/-Tmp-/tmprMzA41.py", line 229, in <module> direct=1) File "/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/py2app-0.3.6-py2.5.egg/py2app/util.py", line 204, in byte_compile if force or newer(mod.filename, cfile): File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/distutils/dep_util.py", line 22, in newer raise DistutilsFileError, "file '%s' does not exist" % source distutils.errors.DistutilsFileError: file '/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c8-py2.5.egg/pkg_resources.pyc' does not exist Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/py2app-0.3.6-py2.5.egg/py2app/build_app.py", line 548, in _run self.run_normal() File "/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/py2app-0.3.6-py2.5.egg/py2app/build_app.py", line 619, in run_normal self.create_binaries(py_files, pkgdirs, extensions, loader_files) File "/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/py2app-0.3.6-py2.5.egg/py2app/build_app.py", line 683, in create_binaries dry_run=self.dry_run) File "/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/py2app-0.3.6-py2.5.egg/py2app/util.py", line 176, in byte_compile spawn(cmd, verbose=verbose, dry_run=dry_run) File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/distutils/spawn.py", line 37, in spawn _spawn_posix(cmd, search_path, dry_run=dry_run) File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/distutils/spawn.py", line 167, in _spawn_posix (cmd[0], exit_status) DistutilsExecError: command '/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/Resources/Python.app/Contents/MacOS/Python' failed with exit status 1 > /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/distutils/spawn.py(167)_spawn_posix() I don't exactly know how Python Eggs work – I have only checked that setuptools-0.6c8-py2.5.egg exists – only it is a file, whereas e.g. py2app-0.3.6-py2.5.egg in the same location is a directory/folder. Any idea why setuptools-0.6c8-py2.5.egg/pkg_resources.pyc does not 'exist'? When I open Python interpreter, import pkg_resources works OK. When running the app or building an alias bundle, I have to export PYTHON_PATH and use --use-pythonpath flag, after that, it works. When building a deployment bundle, it does not work. Thanks you very much for any suggestion you can provide, even relevant links to documentation I might have missed. Feel free to ask any questions or request my setup.py if needed.

Bug: Apps built with py2app on Leopard will default to import system-default libraries
by Nathan March 5, 2008

March 5, 2008

After much discussion on the pyglet and twisted mailing lists, I've isolated a bug in py2app's handling of sys.path on Leopard. Scenario: A custom installation of a python package is installed in /Library/Python/2.5/site-packages or elsewhere. The environment is set to use that package first, either by default (in the case of the former) or by some other means that both the script to be py2app'd and py2app understand. Behaviour: py2app pulls in the custom library into the .app into site-packages.zip or (in the case of -p some.package) into Resources/lib/python2.5/some/package, but when the resulting .app is executed, those locations occur in sys.path after all the customary system locations, so the system installed versions are used first. Example: I've installed Twisted 2.5 and Zope 3.something into /Library/Python/2.5/site-packages (the default location when you run 'python setup.py install'). py2app correctly identified the need for twisted and included it in site-packages.zip. py2app did not correctly identify the need for the custom Zope install, so I added it via the command line (python setup.py py2app -p zope). Because of the nature of the bug, I was able to work around it by manually inserting the relative path to the custom versions that py2app placed inside the app: import sys sys.path.insert(0,'../Resources/lib/python2.5/site-packages.zip') # Now twisted 2.5 is found instead of the system's twisted 2.4 sys.path.insert(0,'../Resources/lib/python2.5/') # Now the custom zope install is found instead of the system's zope. ~ Nathan
