Allow multiple executables in a single py2app bundle
by David Brooks Feb. 20, 2011

Feb. 20, 2011

Resending, as didn't make it to the list when sent on 18 February... Hi, The following patch enables the name of the stub executable to determine the Python script to run. This allows multiple scripts to use a common runtime. Required manual steps are to make copies of the stub in ./MacOS and to copy the actual Python scripts into ./Resources. N.B. The py2app/apptemplate/prebuilt contents need to be recreated by running 'python setup.py build' in py2app/apptemplate, before running the main 'setup.py install'. Enjoy!

It may depend on python version. I found (on OS X) that Python 2.7 requires pythonw rather than python to run my wxPython apps. Cheers, Brendan. -- Brendan Simon www.etrix.com.au

Has, thanks for your reply. I have tried doing what you suggest. the four char code for the range object is X117, so I did the following: app('Microsoft Excel').AS_newreference(aem.app.elements('X117'))['A1'].value() and this works fine in both Excel 2008 and Excel 2011. My problem is that this way I can only reference a range in the currently active worksheet. Using standard appscript syntax I would do the following: app('Microsoft Excel').worksheets['Sheet1'].ranges['A1'].value() to access data on a specific cell on a specific worksheet. How do I do that with the AEM syntax you suggested? I tried something along the lines of: ws.AS_newreference(aem.app.elements('X117'))[address] which won't work since a reference to a worksheet object does not have the AS_newreference method. Tried playing a bit with AS_aemreference but I am not getting how this is supposed to work.

py2app -> .app size is too big
by Prashant Saxena Feb. 16, 2011

Feb. 16, 2011

Hi, Leopard 10.5.5 Intel XCode 3.1.4 Python 2.6.6 universal wxpython 2.8.11.0 universal After installing py2app using "python setup.py install", I created an .app of default wxpython's example name "supperdoodle". The resulting superdoodle.app is around 48.5 MB. Am I missing something in setup.py or this is normal size for wxpython based applications? Cheers Prashant

Problem with PyObjC memory usage ~
by Fur Yao Feb. 15, 2011

Feb. 15, 2011

Hi, Everyone~ I have develop a soft using Python to do something. So create a header .h and implement it with Python. Then I use Py_Initialize and PyRun_SimpleFile to load the necessary module by running 'main.py'. It works fine. But I found it will couse a lot of memory usage( without Python about 20M and with Python it goes up to 50M or higher). I want to know how to release the unnecessary memory usage~ Or I have to rewrite all the python code to Objective-C~ And another question , if I use PyObjC in my project. Should I open my source? And if I open my source , can I sell my own opensource soft in AppStore. If so , which license should I use? Thanks for your help , and forgive me pool English. -- Blog: http://kebot.me/ More About Me: http://about.me/yaofur/

gtk/pygtk + py2app recipe
by Antoine Martin Feb. 15, 2011

Feb. 15, 2011

Hi, I've seen a number of questions about how to bundle pygtk applications using py2app (*) and I've also spent a fair amount of time figuring things out so I thought I would share my findings here. Especially since there are no recipes for it built-in, no pygtk specific info on the py2app website, and I could not find much through googling either. My own instructions are based on tryton's, so this should be your first stop: http://code.google.com/p/tryton/wiki/BuildingMacOSXInstall If that works for you great, but for some reason these were not sufficient in my case (maybe because of extra dependencies), so I also added gtk-osx's "ige-mac-bundler" to the mix: http://winswitch.org/dev/macosx.html Clearly not all sections will be relevant to you, but hopefully this will be helpful to some...

AppleScript can just about deal with that sort of ambiguity as the compiler can determine from context if a 'ranges' keyword is being used as a property name or element name. Appscript doesn't have that luxury, so has to favour one interpretation or the other; in this case, the former. If you need it to go the other way, you'll need to drop down to the aem API (equivalent to using chevron syntax in AS); something like: app('Microsoft Excel').AS_newreference(aem.app.elements('xxxx'))['B2'].value() You'll need to use ASDictionary to export the Excel dictionary as plain text in order to look up the correct four-char code to use in the aem reference. I won't bother suggesting you file a bug report on Excel - feel free to do so, but I don't imagine the developers will want to change anything as long as it's working in AS (no small achievement itself). It's not really their fault anyway: Apple have never provided an adequate spec for application developers to follow, never mind validation tools to check their application dictionaries are formally correct. So the best that any application developer can realistically do is test that their app works okay with AS, as that's the de facto standard. Appscript tries to be quirk-for-quirk compatible with AS to minimize these sorts of compatibility problems, but there are limits to what it can reasonably achieve and sometimes you just have to fall back to the lower-level APIs to deal with such issues.
