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

(the one from python.org) If you are using an installer, then it has to be built for the python you want. Most only target one -- wxPython targets both python.org and Apple's (for Python 2.5) if you use easy_install or setup.py, be sure to run them with the python you want to use. -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception Chris.Barker(a)noaa.gov

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

py2app traceback with wxPython 2.8.9.2

Hi, I get a traceback running py2app with wxPython 2.8.9.2, but not with wxPython 2.8.9.1.

Any ideas? Paul

Is gcc (part of Apple's Xcode developer tools suite) installed? Have you put any non-fat dylibs on your system? (This was the previous poster's problem: they had built their own i386-only version of libPng which Carbon was seeing in /usr/local/lib instead of the fat version in /usr/lib. When setuptools tried to build a fat version of appscript, the linker failed when trying to find a PPC version of libPng.) Could you run it with the verbose option enabled and post the resulting output (the -q option suppresses the build logs, which might contain clues). easy_install error messages are lousy. Perhaps you could also speak to the setuptools developers? BTW, there are several binary eggs on pypi, so if you're installing appscript for the 10.5's default 2.5 installation or the python.org 2.5 or 2.6 framework distributions then it shouldn't need to build from source at all. (That said, I have my suspicions about easy_install's abilities to make the best choice when multiple options are available, but setuptools' shortcomings are a little beyond my ken.)

Python and/or CoreAnimation gurus wanted for large paid museum project ...
by Darran Edmundson March 29, 2009

March 29, 2009

Hi All, We are working on a large Australian museum project due to open in May and expecting more than 300,000 visitors per year. We urgently need a few more highly-skilled python programmers to help get us across the finish line. The 10,000 square foot of gallery space features - a 14-screen touch "table" interactive - a 270-degree cylindrical theatre of choreographed voxpops - touch interactives that solicit visitor opinions on museum content - RFID-enabled passes that, among other things, provide content for non-English speakers and accessibility to vision impaired visitors. - roughly 45 short films spread over 20 different viewing areas If this sounds interesting and you: - are a savvy python programmer with either pyObjC or Twisted experience, or - are an ObjectiveC guru with CoreAnimation experience and proficient in python and - are experienced in object-oriented software development - can work remotely as part of our globally-distributed team (our team has members in Czech Republic, London, Guernsey, Australia) - have access to a Mac for local development - are committed to unit testing (ideally test-driven-development) - are available for full-time employment from now through the end of May (and perhaps longer). - are comfortable with SVN and Trac then please contact me directly at darran(a)edmstudio.com. As part of your response, please provide - a resume, preferably focused on python and/or osx development - a code sample demonstrating your Twisted, pyObjC or Objc prowess - example of a unit test you've written - your availability - your desired hourly rate Note, we are after python and/or CoreAnimation gurus, not general python programmers with an interest in Mac. Cheers, Darran P.S. Apologies if the above "job posting" isn't welcome on the list; I looked but couldn't find any restrictions in this regard.

Assuming this is a genuine timeout error and not the target application unexpectedly quitting while handling an event [1], you can modify the timeout delay by adding a 'timeout' keyword argument to your command. See Chapter 11 of the appscript manual for details. HTH has [1] AESendMessage() often reports event timeout errors (-1712) incorrectly as connection invalid errors (-609). -- Control AppleScriptable applications from Python, Ruby and ObjC: http://appscript.sourceforge.net

Hi Could somebody tell me how to prevent this appscript.reference.CommandError: CommandError -609: connectionInvalid from happening. Is there a time out variable that I can increase? Thanks, Raj
