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

Problem with wxPython and wx-config during build of 3rd party lib
by newbie73 Sept. 30, 2008

Sept. 30, 2008

I am attempting to build parts of the Enthought Tool Suite and am running into some trouble with a package that uses wxPython (and wx-config). My system has two versions of wx-config, the one that comes with Leopard and the one I installed. I believe the problem with the installation is the use of the wrong wx-config, though I am not sure how to correct the problem. Default Version: /usr/bin/wx-config Custom Version: /usr/local/lib/wxPython-unicode-2.8.8.1/bin/wx-config Full log of the installation attempt is attached to the e-mail Partial Install Log: $ export WX_CONFIG=/usr/local/lib/wxPython-unicode-2.8.8.1/bin/wx-config $ sudo easy_install Chaco Searching for Chaco Best match: Chaco 3.0.0 Processing Chaco-3.0.0-py2.5-macosx-10.3-i386.egg Chaco 3.0.0 is already the active version in easy-install.pth Using /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/Chaco-3.0.0-py2.5-macosx-10.3-i386.egg Processing dependencies for Chaco Searching for Enable[traits]>=3.0.0.dev Reading http://code.enthought.com/enstaller/eggs/source Reading http://pypi.python.org/simple/Enable/ Reading http://code.enthought.com/projects/enable Best match: Enable 3.0.1 Downloading http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/E/Enable/Enable-3.0.1.tar.gz#md5=ae5… Processing Enable-3.0.1.tar.gz Running Enable-3.0.1/setup.py -q bdist_egg --dist-dir /tmp/easy_install-JbcXFc/Enable-3.0.1/egg-dist-tmp-lGp7li Found executable /usr/bin/wx-config http://www.nabble.com/file/p19751175/python_log.txt python_log.txt -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Problem-with-wxPython-and-wx-config-during-build-of-3… Sent from the Python - pythonmac-sig mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

prepping Python appscript 0.19.0 for release
by has Sept. 27, 2008

Sept. 27, 2008

Hi all, I'm currently working my way through a list of remaining TODOs with a view to kicking py-appscript 0.19.0 out the door within the next fortnight. I've just committed a bunch of changes to svn; there's still a few items on the TODO list, but I may just (indefinitely?) postpone some or all of those as not being sufficiently important to bother with. Barring any last minute crises of confidence, I'm planning to make this the beta release, which means the API will be frozen and there shouldn't be any more changes barring bug fixes. Appscript is coming up on its fifth birthday now, and I would really like to have a 1.0.0 release out before the end of this year. For one thing, Python 3.0's release is imminent, so I need to fork the codebase soon so I can begin work on supporting that. For another, I have several other projects, embarrassingly overdue commitments, etc. also demanding attention, so the sooner this beast is nailed the sooner I can get on with those. Finally, as a full-time professional AppleScript/Python/Cocoa developer myself now, and currently working on a rather large and really cool Illustrator-based automation project, I would really like to get on with just _using_ the damn thing for a change. ;) So... if anyone wants to look it over to see if it all looks kosher (modules, examples, documentation, etc.), send us any last bug reports, application compatibility problems, feature requests, etc. then this is the time to do it[1]. To check it out from appscript's Subversion repository [2]: svn checkout http://appscript.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/appscript/py-appscript/trunk py-appscript-0.19.0-prerelease Many thanks, has [1] IOW, if you have any interest in appscript, please go right now and beat on it like a piñata, because this is pretty much your last chance. [2] Or, if anyone needs a prebuilt copy, email me and I'll see what I can do. -- Control AppleScriptable applications from Python, Ruby and ObjC: http://appscript.sourceforge.net

64-bit single arch framework build
by Chris Kees Sept. 25, 2008

Sept. 25, 2008

Hi, Our group ended up needing a non-universal x86_64 framework build because we had trouble building some modules with the non-framework build. We had to modify the makefile in two places to get it to work. First we fixed a place where configure generates '-arch_only i386'. That fixes the the build phase. Then we got rid of some install targets that were trying to pull in Carbon code. The first problem seems like it could easily be fixed by somebody who understands the configure script. I'm not sure what's going on with the second problem. Is --disable-toolbox-glue not being handled correctly when the install target is generated? It seems like the build phase is skipping the Carbon dependent extension modules correctly but install is trying to pull in modules that depend on those disabled modules. FYI, here's what were doing: ./configure --prefix=${HOME} --with-cxx-main='/usr/bin/mpicxx -arch x86_64'\ --enable-framework=${HOME} --disable-toolbox-glue CC='/usr/bin/mpicc -arch \ x86_64' CXX='/usr/bin/mpicxx -arch x86_64' LDFLAGS='-framework Accelerate \ -arch x86_64' Edit Makefile to replace -arch_only i386 with -arch_only x86_64 and remove frameworkinstallmaclib and frameworkinstallapps from the altinstall: target. diff Makefile Makefile~ 457c457 < -lSystem -lSystemStubs -arch_only x86_64 -install_name $(PYTHONFRAMEWORKINSTALLDIR)/Versions/$(VERSION)/$(PYTHONFRAMEWORK) -compatibility_version $(VERSION) -current_version $(VERSION) ;\ --- > -lSystem -lSystemStubs -arch_only i386 -install_name $(PYTHONFRAMEWORKINSTALLDIR)/Versions/$(VERSION)/$(PYTHONFRAMEWORK) -compatibility_version $(VERSION) -current_version $(VERSION) ;\ 741c741 < sharedinstall oldsharedinstall frameworkaltinstallunixtools --- > sharedinstall oldsharedinstall frameworkinstallmaclib frameworkinstallapps frameworkaltinstallunixtools

See: http://developer.apple.com/releasenotes/OpenSource/PerlExtensionsRelNotes/ (Applies to Python, etc. as well as Perl.) To build 64-bit py-appscript you'll need to use the current trunk from svn.

PYTHON PATH woes, with a twist - could a good samaritan help out?
by Chris Adams Sept. 21, 2008

Sept. 21, 2008

Hi guys, I've been looking around in the archives of this mailing list, and I've seen other users having a problem with PYTHONPATH, but it seems that followiing the usual instructions isn't helping me out here; I'm using bash as my shell, on Leopard 10.5.5, and in my .profile config file, I have export PYTHONPATH which should give me a list of the packages inside. This is what I get back: chris-adamss-macbook:~ chrisadams$ echo $PYTHONPATH chris-adamss-macbook:~ chrisadams$ When I fire up a python shell, I get the following back: chris-adamss-macbook:~ chrisadams$ python Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Feb 4 2008, 21:48:13) [GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5465)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import sys >>> print sys.path ['', '/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/Fabric-0.0.8-py2.5.egg', '/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/paramiko-1.7.4-py2.5.egg', '/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/Sphinx-0.4.2-py2.5.egg', '/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/docutils-0.5-py2.5.egg', '/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/Jinja2-2.0-py2.5-macosx-10.5-i386.egg', '/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/Jinja-1.2-py2.5-macosx-10.5-i386.egg', '/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python25.zip', '/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5', '/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/plat-darwin', '/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/plat-mac', '/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/plat-mac/lib-scriptpackages', '/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/Extras/lib/python', '/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/lib-tk', '/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/lib-dynload', '/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages', '/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/PIL', '/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/Extras/lib/python/PyObjC'] >>> I'm trying to install Sphinx, which has Jinja as a prerequisite, and I'm having absolutely no luck here, and the link to pythonmac.org/wiki/FAQ seems to be down.

Hallo folks, i'm quite new to python at all, but never the less i want to develope a standalone application which makes some use of the module mechanize. right now the only source code of myApp.py is: [code] import mechanize [/code] running this in a python shell works fine. now i build a standalone application from that in a X11 shell: /usr/local/bin/python setup.py py2app setup.py looks like this: [code] from setuptools import setup APP = ['myApp.py'] DATA_FILES = [] OPTIONS = {'argv_emulation': True} setup( app=APP, data_files=DATA_FILES, options={'py2app': OPTIONS}, setup_requires=['py2app'], ) [/code] and here is where problems start: lauching the application results in an error: ImportError: No module named mechanize could anybody please give me some hint, how i can make that module available for my tiny application? thanks all axel -- GMX Kostenlose Spiele: Einfach online spielen und Spaß haben mit Pastry Passion! http://games.entertainment.gmx.net/de/entertainment/games/free/puzzle/61691…
