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

App distribution with eggs
by David Woods April 27, 2009

April 27, 2009

I'm updating my development tools for an application I've been distributing for a few years now. One of my critical imports, MySQLdb, gets built as an egg under by new system. In the past, I've used BundleBuilder for making my distributable app for the Mac and it's worked admirably. I can't figure out how to get BundleBuilder to include the MySQLdb egg, (I get "ImportError: no module named MySQLdb") and it looks to me like py2app doesn't support eggs either. My (perhaps inept) Googling hasn't revealed any likely suspects. What method do folks recommend for building distributable apps which have dependencies on eggs? David

PyGTK on OSX?
by Chris Van Bael March 11, 2009

March 11, 2009

Hi all, I'm trying to get our program to run on OSX (see www.schoolsplay.org) We use GTK and Pango for RTL support and better font rendering. I installed the framework from http://www.gtk-osx.org/, but PyGTK doesn't seem to be installed. Does anybody have an idea where I can get a binary build of PyGTK? Or where I can find building instructions that don't need DarwinPorts? Any particular things I have to keep in mind while making an Application Bundle with GTK on OSX? Thanks, Chris

Uninstalling Python 2.6?
by Idan Gazit March 10, 2009

March 10, 2009

Hi Folks, So a while back I tried installing (mac) python 2.6 on my leopard machine, mainly to poke around. Today I'm trying out some xcode/pyobjc stuff and I've been tearing my hair out wondering why nothing works as advertised. Turns out that xcode was building against python 2.6, which doesn't have the relevant modules in its classpath (objc, for example). A little bit of digging later and it seems that the *only* version of python listed in /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework is 2.6. Oh noes! So my plea: * How do I cleanly remove the 2.6 (installed using the provided installer) installation such that I'm left with my leopard-vanilla 2.5? * What should I do about the Python.framework? I imagine that PyObjC apps require at least one version there. Did 2.6 overwrite the existing one? Can anybody tell me how to get it back or how to install the 2.5 version? My head is spinning from all the googling I have done on the subject. I'm hoping that a few well-placed words of wisdom will help me here! Yours in much confusion, Idan

All this grief has had me casting about for another language to do really simple MySQL-to-JSON web services, but I have found nothing that does it as well as Python and Publisher. -Lars

BTW, Python modules/extensions are not officially binary compatible across major Python releases, so you should be installing afresh anyway.

64-bit mode no work
by Lars Clausen Feb. 21, 2009

Feb. 21, 2009

I've been trying to get mod_python and mysql to work on my Intel MacBook Leopard, but with very little luck. Disliking the idea of turning my MySQL and Apache into 32-bit (seems backwards), I have installed 64-bit versions of everything: Hedwig:~ larsrc$ file `which python` /usr/bin/python: Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64 Hedwig:~ larsrc$ file /usr/libexec/apache2/mod_python.so /usr/libexec/apache2/mod_python.so: Mach-O 64-bit bundle x86_64 Hedwig:~ larsrc$ file /Library/WebServer/.python-eggs/ MySQL_python-1.2.2-py2.6-macosx-10.5-universal.egg-tmp/_mysql.so /Library/WebServer/.python-eggs/MySQL_python-1.2.2-py2.6-macosx-10.5- universal.egg-tmp/_mysql.so: Mach-O universal binary with 4 architectures /Library/WebServer/.python-eggs/MySQL_python-1.2.2-py2.6-macosx-10.5- universal.egg-tmp/_mysql.so (for architecture i386): Mach-O bundle i386 /Library/WebServer/.python-eggs/MySQL_python-1.2.2-py2.6-macosx-10.5- universal.egg-tmp/_mysql.so (for architecture ppc): Mach-O bundle ppc /Library/WebServer/.python-eggs/MySQL_python-1.2.2-py2.6-macosx-10.5- universal.egg-tmp/_mysql.so (for architecture ppc64): Mach-O 64-bit bundle ppc64 /Library/WebServer/.python-eggs/MySQL_python-1.2.2-py2.6-macosx-10.5- universal.egg-tmp/_mysql.so (for architecture x86_64): Mach-O 64-bit bundle x86_64 Hedwig:~ larsrc$ file `which httpd` /usr/sbin/httpd: Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64 Even so, when I try to load a .py page with mysqldb (using Publisher -- the real reason I want Python!), I get the infamous File "/Library/WebServer/Documents/Python/test.py", line 4, in <module> import MySQLdb File "build/bdist.macosx-10.5-universal/egg/MySQLdb/__init__.py", line 19, in <module> File "build/bdist.macosx-10.5-universal/egg/_mysql.py", line 7, in <module> File "build/bdist.macosx-10.5-universal/egg/_mysql.py", line 6, in __bootstrap__ ImportError: dynamic module does not define init function (init_mysql) I have been perusing a number of related pages (in order to get things to compile in the first place) that mostly seem to see this as a problem of 32/64-bit incompatibility, but with the entire stack being 64-bit, surely it's something else. Any ideas? Any ideas also why there is no 64-bit installation of Python for Mac? Given the presence of fat binaries, it seems like it would be a trivial task to have it. As an aside, I got so fed up with trying to fix this that I switched briefly to IntelliJ + Java to implement my webservices. By the time I had gone through the tutorial to set up a sample web service, I had 6 xml files in play but not a working web service. Publisher is just exemplary in its simplicity. Thanks in advance, -Lars

IDLE fixes for 2.x and 3.x
by Ned Deily Feb. 21, 2009

Feb. 21, 2009

I've opened the following issues for problems with various menu, key definitions, and launch problems with IDLE.app and bin/idle on OS X: <http://bugs.python.org/issue5194> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5195> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5196> Issue5194 applies to 2.6, trunk (2.7), 3.0, and py3k (3.1). It might also work on 2.5 with a little touchup. Issue5195 and Issue5196 are specific to Python 3.0 and py3k (3.1). The patches included have been tested on 2.6, 2.7, 3.0, and 3.1 as indicated. I believe that, with these patches applied, IDLE.app and command line idle (bin/idle) on all of these systems will exhibit the same behavior regarding menus and key definitions.[1] In particular, the often missing-in-action Preferences menu option should be home for good. I'd appreciate feedback on the patches. It would be best to comment directly via the issue tracker. [1] One minor difference: bin/idle still has an application name of "Python" in menus and the dock while IDLE.app is "IDLE". -- Ned Deily, nad(a)acm.org

py2app applications fails to find Pmw --- Low Sensitivity/Aerospace Internal Use Only
by Bernard B Yoo Feb. 19, 2009

Feb. 19, 2009

Low Sensitivity/Aerospace Internal Use Only I'm trying to create an .app from a .py file. When I double-click the .app, I get a message saying Pmw was not found. The commands I use are: py2applet --make-setup myprogram.py python setup.py py2app --packages Pmw When I double-click the app icon, I get an error: OSError: [Errno 20] Not a directory:'/Users/me/Documents/myprogram/bin/dist.myprogram.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python2.5/site-packages.zip/Pmw' When I look in that directory, I see the site-packages.zip file AND a Pmw subdirectory. Pmw is NOT included in site-packages.zip. If I run the python setup.py py2app command with --include Pmw instead, the site-packages.zip file contains Pmw/__init__.pyc, but no other Pmw files. I'm running MacOS X 10.5.6, Python 2.5.1, Pmw 1.3. Suggestions are appreciated. Thanks! Low Sensitivity/Aerospace Internal Use Only
