Have you tried testing in AppleScript? That'll tell you if it's an appscript or iTunes problem, which'll help narrow things down a bit. has -- Control AppleScriptable applications from Python, Ruby and ObjC: http://appscript.sourceforge.net

Link against Python Framework
by Georg Seifert Sept. 11, 2009

Sept. 11, 2009

Hi, In my Cocoa app, I link agains the Python framework to be able to call "PyRun_SimpleString" and load bundles based on python. If I set the Base SDK to 10.5, it runs on 10.5 and 10.6. But if I set it to 10.6 and MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET = 10.5 it complains in Leopard that it can’t find python 2.6. Is there a my to always use the current python version (2.5 on Leopard and 2.6 on Snow Leopard) I link against the "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework" Regards Georg

That's correct.

Installing/upgrading py-appscript on 10.6
by Norman Gray Sept. 10, 2009

Sept. 10, 2009

Greetings. I'm having difficulty using py-appscript after a recent upgrade to 10.6. I had appscript installed on 10.5, and was using it successfully. With the change to 10.6, Python has changed from 2.5.? to 2.6.1. Now, when I try to import appscript, I get: % which python /usr/bin/python % python Python 2.6.1 (r261:67515, Jul 7 2009, 23:51:51) [GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5646)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> from appscript import * Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> ImportError: No module named appscript >>> If I try to use easy_install to (re-)install appscript, I get: % sudo easy_install appscript Searching for appscript Best match: appscript 0.20.0 Processing appscript-0.20.0-py2.5-macosx-10.5-i386.egg Adding appscript 0.20.0 to easy-install.pth file Using /Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/appscript-0.20.0-py2.5- macosx-10.5-i386.egg Processing dependencies for appscript Finished processing dependencies for appscript % ...which appears to be linked to Python 2.5, not 2.6. Googling around doesn't really help very much. Advice includes "easy_install -m appscript" and "easy_install -U setuptools", and though I can read a manpage, this is clearly drifting into the realms of voodoo. I'm slightly surprised that I apparently can't _un_install appscript and start afresh. I can't see any rele I have so far managed to remain innocent of exactly how Python manages its libraries. It looks like I'm going to have to get someone to destroy that innocence: what should I be doing here, and why? I do have the Developer tools installed: % /usr/bin/gcc --version i686-apple-darwin10-gcc-4.2.1 (GCC) 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5646) Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

C Extension build troubles in 10.6
by david Sept. 10, 2009

Sept. 10, 2009

I'm having trouble building extensions for python packages in Snow Leopard. I'm running into this issue with mxBase and psycopg2 currently. I haven't tried any others. Here's the output, this example being from mxBase: gcc -arch ppc -arch i386 -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk -fno-strict-aliasing -Wno-long-double -no-cpp-precomp -mno-fused-madd -fno-common -dynamic -DNDEBUG -g -O3 -DUSE_FAST_GETCURRENTTIME -DBAD_STATIC_FORWARD=1 -UHAVE_STRPTIME -Imx/DateTime/mxDateTime -I/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/include/python2.5 -I/usr/local/include -I/opt/local/include -I/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/include -c mx/DateTime/mxDateTime/mxDateTime.c -o build/temp.macosx-10.3-i386-2.5_ucs2/mx-DateTime-mxDateTime-mxDateTime/mx/DateTime/mxDateTime/mxDateTime.o cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-Wno-long-double" cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-Wno-long-double" lipo: can't figure out the architecture type of: /var/folders/fO/fO43i+NPFDKpf9wCgPlln++++TI/-Tmp-//ccTzrZYF.out error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1 This is a new machine with a build environment that should be pretty clean. Any ideas? I'm having little luck figuring this out. There doesn't seem to be much information / discussion about the lipo error. Thanks, David

Compiling libhid with python support : configure can't link to test program
by Gabriel Rossetti Sept. 9, 2009

Sept. 9, 2009

Hello everyone, I would like to compile libhid (because I couldn't find it already compiled) on mac os x 10.5.x. When I run configure it dies saying it can't link against my python lib and that it may be installed in an alternative location or that I need to install a dev version of python. I'm using the version shipped with 10.5, does anyone know how to fix this? Thank you, Gabriel

Appscript and Snow Leopard
by Noel Rappin Sept. 8, 2009

Sept. 8, 2009

I have a Python script that I've been using to communicate back and forth with iTunes via py-appscript -- it's worked fine for a long time. Snow Leopard seems to have broken it -- everytime I run the script, it stops, and then exits, claiming that one of the commands has timed out. It's never the same place in the process twice, so its not due to any data issue. An attempt to mimic the basic communication in rb-appscript resulted in a similar error. It's as though iTunes decides after a set period of time to stop responding to appscript requests. I'm stumped as to how to work around this issue. Anybody have any ideas?
