That's just the GUI utilities that come with the third-party Python 2.5 distribution from python.org; the Python framework itself, which includes its command line tools, is installed under /Library/Frameworks. There's also a copy of Python 2.5 included in Leopard as standard, so you actually have two Python 2.5 installations on your machine. > I find the following file: > > /Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/appscript-0.18.1-py2.5- > macosx-10.5-i386.egg Yep, this is where Apple's Python keeps third-party modules (the framework itself is under /System so it doesn't get fiddled with). Setuptools and easy_install are included with Leopard's Python, but aren't included in the third-party distributions so must be installed separately for those. You have two options: 1. Uninstall your own Python 2.5 installation and use Apple's (slightly older) version. 2. Install setuptools for your third-party Python: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools > I don't understand what an .egg file is. It's the module packaging format used by setuptools.

If so, make sure that you've installed setuptools for the Python interpreter you're currently using. e.g. Leopard ships with Python 2.5.1 a copy of easy_install at /usr/ bin, but if you use a different Python installation then then you'll need to install setuptools for that yourself as the existing easy_install only works for Apple's Python.

Odd py2app issue
by Christopher Barker April 4, 2008

April 4, 2008

Hi all, I've got an app (wxPython based) that I've been successfully py2apping for a while. I just tweaked the code a bit, and tried to build it again, and got: /usr/bin/strip: the __LINKEDIT segment does not cover the end of the file (can't be processed) in: /Users/cbarker/HAZMAT/UnitConversion/dist/Converter.app/Contents/Frameworks/libwx_macud-2.8.0.dylib (for architecture ppc) And the resulting application crashes: ImportError: dlopen(/Users/cbarker/HAZMAT/UnitConversion/dist/Converter.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python2.5/lib-dynload/wx/_core_.so, 2): bad external relocation length If I delete the old *.app, and build again it works fine, so it's easy to work around, but this does smell like a bug.

Help getting started with py-appscript
by Dewey V. Schorre April 3, 2008

April 3, 2008

I began by installing py-appscript like this: macpro-administrators-computer:~ val$ sudo easy_install appscript . . . Finished processing dependencies for appscript macpro-administrators-computer:~ val$ I thought that had worked, so I began the tutorial like this: macpro-administrators-computer:~ val$ python . . . >>> from appscript import * Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> ImportError: No module named appscript >>> Why did it say "No module named appscript"? How can I get this to work? Thanks for helping me get started. Dewey V. Schorre

Trouble with py2app not building standalone on 10.5 Leopard
by Derrick Hendricks April 1, 2008

April 1, 2008

I am using py2app 0.3.6 installed using easy install on my 10.5 Leopard distribution. I am trying to package a piece of software into a completely stand alone app so I can distribute it to other mac users. Currently, I'm using 10.5Leopard and am not having much luck. When creating this app, the python that gets added to the Contents/MacOS is a link to: /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/Resources/Python.app/Contents/MacOS/Python While this will work for just about all stock 10.5 computers, this will not work for anything that doesn't have python 2.5 installed, and I need to package this for 10.3 and 10.4 for both PPC and i386 also, and these machines do not have python 2.5 unless they were added later. I did not use the -s switch that is supposed to create a semi-standalone app and I did not tell it to skip macholib. Also, I have run the macho_standalone separately and that has not yielded any better results. Simply copying the python interpreter into the directory doesn't work either as it fails with a module traceback not found error. What I need is a way to completely include the interpreter and everything that it needs into the app bundle. Any help on this matter is appreciated.
