[py2app] - error: argv-emulation is not supported for 64-bit executables
by David Cortesi Oct. 18, 2011

Oct. 18, 2011

This seems to be a rather FAsked question, based on googling that error string. Not FAnswered, however, altho it is probably relevant that on this list in August, Ronald Oussoren wrote, "The py2app repository contains a version of the argv emulator that works in 64-bit mode. I have to rebuild the executable stubs on a 10.6 system with Xcode 3 before I can release that version, that should hopefully happen later this week." I am trying to package a PyQt4 app on snow leopard. There would seem to be no way around needing argv emulation, as a QApplication is necessary and it requires sys.argv. I am using what should be the latest py2app (0.6.3), installed today. I tried arch -i386 python setup.py py2app but the same error message appeared. Any suggestions or comments appreciated.

disableRelaunchOnLogin and PyObjC
by Mel Walker Oct. 18, 2011

Oct. 18, 2011

I have a utility application that should not be relaunched on login, so I figure I'd better call [NSApp -disableRelaunchOnLogin] in the code, as recommended for 10.7. The problem I'm having is that the code runs back to 10.5. In Objective-C I would just call respondsToSelector:, but I'm having trouble with getting the syntax correct. Google searches are not helping; perhaps it's just too early in the morning. :-) (1) Could someone either point me to a good piece of sample code that would show me the kind of thing I need to do, or (2) show me a preferred Pythonic way to do the same thing? -- Mel

I have been able to create a working semi-standalone app bundle (which is what I wanted) by adding two more dirs to sys.path. Thank you for py2app and for your help. My app bundles work on 10.6.3 and 10.6.8 with the default Apple-provided Python on each. Thank you. I'm going to use this to reproduce the problem and fix py2app. Ronald

py2app problem with wxpython on Apple python 2.7 Lion : can’t find __core__.so etc
by schneo Oct. 13, 2011

Oct. 13, 2011

Hello all, I’m on a fresh install of OS X Lion with Apple version of Python 2.7 (64bits) + installed wxPython2.9-osx-cocoa-py2.7 + (py2app with easy_install as explained here : http://svn.pythonmac.org/py2app/py2app/trunk/doc/index.html ) The bundle .app is well created but when I launch it, => PM [0x0-0x106106].org.pythonmac.unspecified.test1: ImportError: '/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload/wx/_core_.so' not found The wxpython .so files exist in the bundle: fbook:Contents sfx$ ls Resources/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload/wx _controls_.so _core_.so _gdi_.so _misc_.so _windows_.so: How can I solve this issue knowing that I need to use the Python shipped by Apple (I rely on their version of PyObjC). I don’t mind doing manually the necessary changes each time for the .app. Should I move the .so <about:blank> files in another place in the bundle? Should I add the .so <about:blank> files in /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload ? Thanks in advance for your time and help. Francois

py2app with 64-bit argv emulation support
by Hamid M. Oct. 11, 2011

Oct. 11, 2011

Hello, Lack of 64-bit argv_emulation is causing a lot of headache for me as I have to build all libraries that my application relies on in 32-bit, which hasn't been successful. I was wondering if there is a new update to py2app that supports argv_emulation in 64-bit. I have tried the svn repository version of py2app with no success. Any hints is greatly appreciated. thanks

Does your real project have the same structure? The test projects almost certainly fails because of implementation details in CPython. Your project has a module and a package named quot that are located in the same directory, which one gets loaded by CPython depends on the order they are seen by os.listdir. This happens to work fine on OSX because OSX sorts directories and therefore the package is found before the module. It doesn't work when the application is bundled by py2app because the module happens to be earlier in the zipfile directory than the package, and the "import quot.queue" in the main script fails because the import statement only looks at the quot module which doesn't have a submodule named queue. That said, the current behavior of py2app is still fishy at best. The 'quot.py' file is currently copied into quot.app/Contents/ (where is should be located for the bootstrap code) as well as the site-packages.zip file (and another location). The copy in the zipfile is not needed, and py2app shouldn't have copied it into that file. A quick workaround is to rename 'quot.py' to 'quot_script.py'.

Python 2.7 (Lion) and user site-packages folder problem
by Hamid M. Oct. 10, 2011

Oct. 10, 2011

Hello When I make Apple-supplied python-2.7 the default python on my system, it ignores my local site-packages folder in ~/Library/Python/2.7/site-packges This does not happen when using 2.6! Is this behavior expected ? How can I permanently add that folder to my sys.path? Thanks in advance,

dialog always busy, not titled right
by Alex Hall Oct. 4, 2011

Oct. 4, 2011

Hi all, It turns out that my last problem, with the ctypes.windll methods, was nothing; the library developer said they were no longer needed and could be removed. My app is now running on Lion, but with two major problems: 1. The app is based on a series of dialogs, and these do not seem to be titled correctly. At least, they are simply called "Python" when you switch to them. 2. Any key commands result in a minute or two of the dialog being "busy", rendering the whole thing all but unusable. One thing I have to mention: I am running VoiceOver with no monitor plugged in to my new (as of August) Mac Mini. I am not sure if turning VO off lets the app run normally (no busy messages) as I do not have a screen or a mouse for a sighted person to use; my only interaction with the machine has to be through VO since the DVI to VGA adapter I am using does not mate with the DVI to HJMI adapter to let the Mac display on the only monitor I could find. Anyway, thanks for any suggestions, and I understand if this is another thing I should ask the WX list about. I figured, though, that there may be mac-specific caveats, especially where VO is concerned, with how MacOS sees Python apps running from source. -- Have a great day, Alex (msg sent from GMail website) mehgcap(a)gmail.com; http://www.facebook.com/mehgcap

py2app: ImportError
by Sean Robinson Oct. 4, 2011

Oct. 4, 2011

I have not yet been able to make a working stand-alone app bundle using py2app and I hope someone can point out what I'm missing. I am using py2app cloned from bitbucket (changeset 169:9d95dbc52431), but py2app 0.6.3 did not work, either. This is being done on OSX 10.6.8 with the Apple-provided python (v2.6.1). The app (quotidian) is a Tkinter python script that runs well from Terminal and partially from a py2app --alias app bundle. But the primary problem is that sub-modules with the project are not importing (see the stderr log below) on launch. The supposedly missing module is in site-packages.zip (as queue.pyc). I have verified that site-packages.zip is in sys.path. Does anyone have something else I can check?

windll on Mac?
by Alex Hall Oct. 2, 2011

Oct. 2, 2011

Hi all, I just joined this list, so I am sorry if this is not the right place to ask. I have written an application in python, and one library I use relies on the ctypes.windll functions, specifically user32 and kernel32. I would like to use this library, but I also want to make my application cross-platform. Is there an equivalent to windll on the Mac? It looks like the library uses the dll for finding things like the current thread id, current window, and for functions like window/thread management (it is a dialog builder library built around wx). The library can be found here: http://www.empowermentzone.com/pylbc.zip Thanks in advance for any information you can provide. -- Have a great day, Alex (msg sent from GMail website) mehgcap(a)gmail.com; http://www.facebook.com/mehgcap
