selecting wxpython version with py2app
by David Manthey March 11, 2009

March 11, 2009

Hi there, I am using OS-X 10.5 (Leopard) with a wxPython program, and I want to bundle it into an application using py2app. I currently have wx version 2.8.9.2 installed, and when I run my python program on the command line, it works faultlessly. When I bundle it with py2app, it uses the system framework version of wx (2.8.4.0), and, unfortunately, my program doesn't work because I've used newer features of wx. How do I instruct py2app to NOT use the system framework version of wx? Or, alternately, how do I upgrade the system framework version of wx? Many thanks. - David -- David Manthey, programmer ReQuest - Serious Play w: 518.490.6140 david.manthey(a)request.com

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

Is that correct? Shouldn't the volume appear under /Volumes? Is the volume identified by this path mounted at the time you run this code? If not, try it and see what happens. I'm not an expert on Unix mounting points, but my impression is that that is where they normally go. I've also noticed that HFS<->POSIX path conversions only produce a path beginning with /Volumes when the volume is mounted. I suspect the result given when the volume isn't mounted is wrong/undefined, but as I say I'm no expert in this area. > I've got this: > > from appscript import * > from mactypes import * > print File.makewithhfspath(app("Microsoft > PowerPoint").active_presentation.path()).path > > However, in this case, I get "/janssen/Documents", which is wrong. Appscript uses CFURL functions to convert POSIX to HFS paths and vice- versa. (I'd have thought AS would use the same functions, but maybe not.) The relevant code is in the ae.c file for your reference. If you find a problem in the way that HFS<->POSIX paths are converted, I'd suggest writing up a test case in C to confirm the same behaviour there, then submit a bug report to Apple on it as its their APIs that are responsible for it.

appscript path issue
by Bill Janssen March 4, 2009

March 4, 2009

I'm trying to write this scrap of Applescript in Python appscript: on run tell application "Microsoft PowerPoint" set this_item to path of active presentation end tell set unix_item to POSIX path of this_item display dialog of unix_item end run which yields "/tilde/janssen/Documents", an NFS-mounted location. I've got this: from appscript import * from mactypes import * print File.makewithhfspath(app("Microsoft PowerPoint").active_presentation.path()).path However, in this case, I get "/janssen/Documents", which is wrong. So, how do I get the effect of "POSIX path of" in appscriptpt? This is appscript 0.19.0 on 10.5.6, with /usr/bin/python. Bill

Pyobjc ---- XCode development help ----- NSInternalInconsistencyException
by Dario Traverso March 4, 2009

March 4, 2009

Greetings, I'm currently running into some confusing issues developing a pyobjc application on Apple's MacOS 10.5 Leopard platform. I've tried emailing Apple's developer mailing lists to no avail thus far, and was hoping someone here might have some suggestions? My problem is as follows: I'm writing a simple image filter application, that denoises an image. I've using two python libraries: Python Image Library - http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/ Python Wavelet Library - http://wavelets.scipy.org/moin/ They both install and function correctly. When I call my denoise.py module from the command line, it correctly denoises and displays the image @ the specified file path. So I know, that strictly as a python module, it works. However, when I build a pyobjc application in XCode (Apple's IDE) and integrate my previously functioning python module into it with a simple GUI, I run into problems building the pyobjc app. XCode states an unchecked exception NSInternalInconsistencyException, which is defined by Apple as: NSInternalInconsistencyException Name of an exception that occurs when an internal assertion fails and implies an unexpected condition within the called code. Available in Mac OS X v10.0 and later. Declared in NSException.h. So, not exactly a very helpful or specific exception. Specifically, it is complaining about when I import the denoise.py module I created, which works perfectly outside of XCode. I've gone through it line-by- line, and am now convinced that it is unlikely the issue is within the module itself. I think there is some sort of python language configuration issue going on. I'm using my new MacBookPro, with Leopard 10.5 and it came with Python, pyobjc, Xcode, etc. Confusing why it would work from terminal, but not Xcode, aren't they using the same build of Python, the one that came with my Mac? Thank you for any assistance / insight you can provide!

Macintosh Native Python Install
by REH March 2, 2009

March 2, 2009

Hello All, Using the Mac Leopard NATIVE installation of the Python 2.5 interpreter, called out of the Terminal UNIX command line (i.e. NOT through the X-code machinery), is it possible to pipe or pass in a text file containing Python code? Or is this literally a type-as-you- go-only interpreter? Alternative 1: Is there a SIMPLE was to use the X-code framework to create a command-line type program, without all the GUI machinery? Alternative 2: If Python.org distributions are the best way to go, any recommendations on 2.5 vs. 2.6 vs. 3.x? I saw somewhere on the website that 2.6 was crashing on Macs. Thanks in advance for any help... Richard
