Interesting problem with frozen app
by Smith, Jeff April 22, 2009

April 22, 2009

This is only a test case for a larger system. I have created an app that freezes itself. setup.py ------------ from setuptools import setup APP = ['freezer.py'] DATA_FILES = [] OPTIONS = {'argv_emulation': True, 'no_chdir': True, 'optimize': True} setup( app=APP, data_files=DATA_FILES, options={'py2app': OPTIONS}, setup_requires=['py2app'], ) freezer.py -------------- import os os.system('python setup.py py2app') Running: python freezer.py works as expected. But the frozen app does not work: > mv dist run > run/freezer.app/Contents/MacOS/freezer Traceback (most recent call last): File "setup.py", line 1, in <module> from setuptools import setup ImportError: No module named setuptools Note that the error is not comming from the frozen app but from the copy of Python being run by the frozen app in the os.system call.

It sounds like you are done, but just in case, you might look into bbfreeze -- it works on all those platforms, and while it doesn't build app bundles on OS-X, it may work well for your 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

Patch for bdist_mpkg
by Russell E. Owen April 22, 2009

April 22, 2009

bdist_mpkg failed for me on 10.5.6 when I tried to build a binary for numarray 1.3.0/Python 2.6 as follows: "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/site-pac kages/bdist_mpkg/tools.py", line 106, in admin_writable gid = get_gid('admin') File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/site-pac kages/bdist_mpkg/tools.py", line 90, in get_gid raise ValueError('group %s not found' % (name,)) ValueError: group admin not found When I noted this on a numpy mailing list David Cournapeau pointed out the a patch, which is at the very end of the following document: <http://www.pymvpa.org/devguide.html> and stated: "It is a bug of bdist_mpkg on leopard (the error message is a bit misleading - if you look at the code, you will see it calls for a command line utility which does not exist on leopard)." I applied the patch and it worked for me. I'm hoping the patch (or an equivalent) could make its way to the release version. If there's anything I can do to help this process let me know. -- Russell P.S. I have a binary installer for numpy 1.3.0 on MacPython 2.6. Email me if you want to test it or serve it. So far binary installers for MacPython 2.6 seem to be in very short supply (I still need matplotlib and PIL before I can switch away from Python 2.5).

Using getwcd() in a frozen app
by Smith, Jeff April 21, 2009

April 21, 2009

I am using py2app 0.3.6 on Mac OX 10.5 and after I freeze a simple command line tool, os.getcwd() returns the location where the application binary lives and not the directory the application is run from. Is there expected behavior and if so, is there a workaround for this? Jeffery G.

Use Setup.py to install to /usr
by Pascal Schaedeli April 20, 2009

April 20, 2009

How to you instruct "setup.py install" to install all files under /usr instead of /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin/? I tried: python ./setup.py install --prefix=/usr --dry-run But it still attempts to create directories like /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages I am trying to install "Duplicity", a backup tool using rsync and don't want it to be installed in the tree of a specific Python distribution in order to be able to upgrade or switch to another python version without affecting the availability of duplicity. Thanks. Pascal S.

Building a PreferencePane with PyObjC?
by Bill Janssen April 20, 2009

April 20, 2009

Hi, all. I'm trying to build a PreferencePane with Python and Interface Builder, and the examples I can find on the Web seem somewhat out-of-date. In particular, the EnvironmentPane example seems to use a "magic NIB", which I can't figure out how to construct from scratch, and which I can't seem to convert to XIB format. If someone could outline the steps of what needs to happen to build a new PreferencePane XIB file from scratch, using IB, I'd be grateful. Or if you've got a pointer to an up-to-date Xcode 3 example, that would be useful, too. Thanks! Bill

Loading dynamic library
by Shane Clements April 16, 2009

April 16, 2009

Hi. I'm using py2app to try to port a game to OS X, is there any to avoid this error? Traceback (most recent call last): File "game.py", line 18, in <module> import ode ImportError: dlopen(/Users/Shane/UTc!/client/dist/client.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python2.5/lib-dynload/ode.so, 2): Library not loaded: @executable_path/../Frameworks/libode.dylib Referenced from: /Users/Shane/UTc!/client/dist/client.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python2.5/lib-dynload/ode.so Reason: image not found I think there's an attempt to load a dynamic library, but not entirely clear what is happening here. Googling suggests that there's some issue with the Framework, which I'll admit I'm just kinda puzzling out. Ideas? Shane
