Getting py2app to work with svn 1.5.1?
by Russell E. Owen Aug. 20, 2008

Aug. 20, 2008

I just realized I can no longer build my Python application using py2app since upgrading to svn 1.5.1. The application uses Tkinter, matplotlib and Image (PIL). I am on MacOS X 10.4.11 using Python 2.5.2 from python.org and ActiveState Tcl/Tk 8.4.19. The first symptom were well-known problems "Unknown load command: 27" and "global name 'log' is not defined". After reading these: <http://bugs.python.org/setuptools/issue4> <http://www.nabble.com/-py2app---pygame--can't-build-my-app-td17936557.ht ml> and trying various fixes I got rid of those problems and ended up with a new one (more below) which I've not found a solution for. I decided to try a clean install of easy_install and py2app so: - Delete everything from site-packages related to easy_install and py2app including bdist_mpkg , macholib and modulegraph and setuptools. - Download ez_setup.py $ python ez_setup.py This installed setuptools==0.6c8 $ easy_install py2app This installed: - py2app 0.3.6 - bdist-mpkg 0.4.3 - modulegraph 0.7 py2app fails to build my app with the following error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-pac kages/py2app-0.3.6-py2.5.egg/py2app/build_app.py", line 548, in _run self.run_normal() File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-pac kages/py2app-0.3.6-py2.5.egg/py2app/build_app.py", line 600, in run_normal mf = self.get_modulefinder() File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-pac kages/py2app-0.3.6-py2.5.egg/py2app/build_app.py", line 508, in get_modulefinder debug=debug, File "build/bdist.macosx-10.3-i386/egg/modulegraph/find_modules.py", line 243, in find_modules find_needed_modules(mf, scripts, includes, packages) File "build/bdist.macosx-10.3-i386/egg/modulegraph/find_modules.py", line 179, in find_needed_modules path = m.packagepath[0] TypeError: 'NoneType' object is unsubscriptable I then tried installing the dev version of py2app: $ easy_install py2app==dev complains about modulegraph so: $ easy_install modulegraph==dev But I still get the same error (and I'd rather not use these dev versions without some idea if they are stable and recommended). I have not located this one on google (except one unanswered query from a wx user from May). Any ideas? -- Russell

2.6 universal problems
by Chris Kees Aug. 19, 2008

Aug. 19, 2008

I'm running into a problem building/installing from svn source r65809 for the 64-bit universal configuration on 10.5. The installer can't find the FSpOpenResFile function during the install phase. Here is a summary of what is happening: % uname -a Darwin ... 9.4.0 Darwin Kernel Version 9.4.0: Mon Jun 9 19:30:53 PDT 2008; root:xnu-1228.5.20~1/RELEASE_I386 i386 %gcc --version i686-apple-darwin9-gcc-4.0.1 (GCC) 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5484) %../configure --with-universal-archs=64-bit --with-framework-name=Python64 --enable-framework --enable-universalsdk=/ MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.5 %make %make test ... 319 tests OK. 8 tests failed: test_aepack test_applesingle test_array test_distutils test_httpservers test_macostools test_scriptpackages test_signal 33 tests skipped: test_al test_bsddb test_bsddb3 test_cd test_cl test_codecmaps_cn test_codecmaps_hk test_codecmaps_jp test_codecmaps_kr test_codecmaps_tw test_curses test_dl test_epoll test_gdbm test_gl test_imageop test_imgfile test_largefile test_linuxaudiodev test_normalization test_ossaudiodev test_pep277 test_py3kwarn test_socketserver test_startfile test_sunaudiodev test_tcl test_timeout test_urllib2net test_urllibnet test_winreg test_winsound test_zipfile64 2 skips unexpected on darwin: test_tcl test_dl %sudo make install ... running install_egg_info Removing /Library/Frameworks/Python64.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/lib-dynloa d/Python-2.6b2_-py2.6.egg-info Writing /Library/Frameworks/Python64.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/lib-dynloa d/Python-2.6b2_-py2.6.egg-info ln -fs "../../../Python64" "/Library/Frameworks/Python64.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/config/li bpython2.6.a" cd Mac && make installmacsubtree DESTDIR="" DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH=/Users/cekees/src/pyadh-compilers/python-trunk/build4wu: ../python.exe ../../Mac/scripts/cachersrc.py -v /Library/Frameworks/Python64.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/plat-mac /Library/Frameworks/Python64.framework/Versions/2.6/Mac/Tools Traceback (most recent call last): File "../../Mac/scripts/cachersrc.py", line 44, in <module> main() File "../../Mac/scripts/cachersrc.py", line 41, in main os.path.walk(dir, handler, (verbose, force)) File "./../Lib/posixpath.py", line 224, in walk func(arg, top, names) File "../../Mac/scripts/cachersrc.py", line 23, in handler macresource.open_pathname(os.path.join(dirname, fn), verbose=verbose) File "/Users/cekees/src/pyadh-compilers/python-trunk/Lib/plat-mac/macresource.py" , line 81, in open_pathname refno = Res.FSpOpenResFile(pathname, 1) AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'FSpOpenResFile' make[1]: *** [installmacsubtree] Error 1 make: *** [frameworkinstallmaclib] Error 2 I looked in the Mac subdirectory at the source for the _Res extension module where FSpOpenResFile is defined, but it looks like if _LP64_ is defined these function definitions are skipped. Also, if I build the 32-bit or 4-way ('all') universals I get the same output from 'make test' but the installer is happy. After some additional testing with the 4-way universal I'm beginning to find that it has some problems with some extension modules when run as 64-bit, which is why I went back to test the 64-bit universal. Does anybody recognize this error? Is anybody actually using a 64-bit framework build on OSX 10.5 (of 2.6 or 2.5.2)? Chris

Leopard Python library ?missing functions?
by John Raines Aug. 19, 2008

Aug. 19, 2008

I did a google search on "python calendar" and was surprised to see that several new modules have been added in Python 2.5. I was preparing to try to fix a bug in some code that turned the old calendar modules result into an html version, so I thought I would look at what the new functions did. I was further surprised to get: > ImportError: No module named HTMLCalendar Did they not implement all of the new library on Leopard? Whyever not?

Re: [Pythonmac-SIG] appscript -- Getting 1708 Error on count command for word 2008

Word's count command requires an 'each' parameter, e.g.: app('microsoft word').count(each=k.document) A number of Carbon apps do require an 'each' parameter, e.g. Word, Finder. The reason you can get away with not specifying one yourself in AppleScript is that AppleScript quietly munges the reference passed as the direct parameter to create one. Appscript mimics quite a bit of AppleScript's behind-the-scenes chicanery for compatibility's sake, but this isn't one of them. (The 'each' parameter is itself a design wart; Apple event IPC has a lot of those.) Adding a note about this particular issue to the FAQ is on the TODO list... along with the rest of the FAQ. (I'm afraid work's keeping me pretty busy these days, but fingers crossed it'll happen someday.)

appscript -- Getting 1708 Error on count command for word 2008
by Travis Caldwell Aug. 16, 2008

Aug. 16, 2008

Not sure if this is user error or a bug, but I can't seem to send the count command to Word 2008 via appscript. >>> word.documents.count() Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/appscript-0.18.1-py2.5-macosx-10.5-i386.egg/appscript/reference.py", line 439, in __call__ appscript.reference.CommandError: CommandError -1708: Application could not handle this command. Failed command: app(u'/Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/Microsoft Word.app').documents.count() I can call help on the count command via the same path so I think I'm calling count() from the right place: >>> word.documents.count.help() ============================================================================== Help (-t) Reference: app(u'/Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/Microsoft Word.app').documents.count ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Description of reference Terminology for count command [...] And Word seems to support the count command since this works from the script editor: tell application "Microsoft Word" display dialog (get count of documents) end tell And finally, I tried doing a count with TextEdit and that seems to work fine: >>> te = app('TextEdit') >>> te.activate() >>> te.documents.count() 3 Any help would be appreciated. _Travis_Caldwell_

Build Tkinter against custom tcl/tk?
by Russell E. Owen Aug. 15, 2008

Aug. 15, 2008

I'm trying to build a non-framework python on MacOS X 10.5 using a custom tcl/tk that lives in an arbitrary directory. (For complicated reasons we don't want the system tcl/tk). It is easy to build an X11 tcl/tk this way (and we are content with X11) so I did that. Unfortunately I can't seem to build Python in such a way that it sees this tcl/tk. The only documented way to do this I found was to edit Modules/Setup or Setup.local, so I did the following: $ /configure --prefix=/Users/rowen/TestBuild/pythonroot/ --disable-framework Edit Modules/Setup.local to add this text (based on comments in Modules/Setup): _tkinter _tkinter.c tkappinit.c -DWITH_APPINIT \ -L/Users/rowen/TestBuild/tcltkroot/lib \ -I/Users/rowen/TestBuild/tcltkroot/include \ -ltk8.4 -ltcl8.4 \ -I/usr/X11R6/include \ -L/usr/X11R6/lib \ -lX11 $ make $ make install This builds, but the resulting python is missing the _tkinter library. I tried setting CFLAGS: $ export CFLAGS="-I/Users/rowen/TestBuild/tcltkroot/include -L/Users/rowen/TestBuild/tcltkroot/bin" before running configure, but that didn't help. So...any advice? Any obvious mistake? (I did double-check each path in the text I added to Setup.local) Is there some way to convince configure to use my tcl/tk (that would potentially be simpler than editing Modules/Setup.local). -- Russell

virtualenv problems
by George Wright Aug. 15, 2008

Aug. 15, 2008

Gidday again I am having trouble getting a virtualenv to use the python version I want on my OSX 10.5.4. • I have installed Python 2.5.2 and used ~/.bash_profile to export PATH so that this one comes up when I type python at the shell prompt. (I haven't made a ~/.profile entry. I wonder if that would help?) • I have installed the latest "virtualenv" • When I create a virtualenv from the command line like this: $ virtualenv ENV that works but the python available after activating is the OSX installed global version 2.5.1 and not the 2.5.2 I hoped for. ?? • The virtualenv docs suggest you can call it like this: $ python virtualenv.py ENV Which might ensure that 252 came up - But I get this error message: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/Resources/Python.app/ Contents/MacOS/Python: can't open file 'virtualenv.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory AND I can't find a virtualenv.py anywhere • The docs (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/virtualenv#id2) suggest that one can 'name a python' but there is no indication as to how that is done. • I have tried the no_site-packages option too. Any suggestions? George Wright

py2app: email.iterators
by Jim Tittsler Aug. 15, 2008

Aug. 15, 2008

I'm using py2app 0.3.6 and python.org Python 2.5.2 to bundle up a new application that uses the email module. The special 'email' recipe seems to pick up all of the files in email/ except iterators.pyc and generator.pyc... and when I launch my newly made application an error appears: ImportError: No module named iterators Do I need to something more than just specify the email package?

Re: [Pythonmac-SIG] [Numpy-discussion] Mac OSX 4-way universal Re: python 2.6 trunk
by Chris Kees Aug. 14, 2008

Aug. 14, 2008

The 4-way universal install of numpy-1.1.1 is working now with the Python 2.6b2+ (trunk:65678), and all the tests pass (running as i386 and x86_64 at least). Unfortunately, I didn't find exactly what was causing it. I just erased /Library/Frameworks/Python64.framework and rebuilt the 4-way universal python and numpy module again because I had noticed that the numpy build directory kept coming up with this structure: %ls build lib.macosx-10.5-universal-2.6 scripts.macosx-10.5-universal-2.6 src.macosx-10.3-i386-2.6 temp.macosx-10.5-universal-2.6 Apparently something in my python framework was leftover from a previous install and causing the src.macosx-10.3-i386-2.6 to get built, which seems to be related to distutils deciding that I was cross-compiling. Anyway, thanks for the help and sorry for the trouble. I guess one should always erase the python framework before re-installing it? Should I be running an uninstall script instead of just erasing it?
