How to make py2app app stub link to Cocoa framework?
by Kevin Walzer March 31, 2013

March 31, 2013

I've been trying to get one of my Python-Tk applications to integrate with Lion's sandboxing framework (for Mac App Store submission) and have been having difficulty. Based on some feedback I received in the Apple Developer forums, it appears that part of the issue is that the executable stub created by py2app does not link to the Cocoa frameworks. A quick run of otool -L confirms this: Kevin-Walzers-MacBook:~ kevin$ otool -L /Users/kevin/Programming/quickwho/cbk/QuickWho.app/Contents/MacOS/QuickWho /Users/kevin/Programming/quickwho/cbk/QuickWho.app/Contents/MacOS/QuickWho: /usr/lib/libgcc_s.1.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 832.0.0) /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 125.2.10) Is there any way I can get this executable linked to /System/Library/Frameworks/Cocoa.framework? I didn't think install_name_tool would do the trick, as that just rewrites links, rather than adding them. A Any suggestions are appreciated. --Kevin -- Kevin Walzer Code by Kevin http://www.codebykevin.com

Trouble building against Tkinter on 64-bit python.org python
by Russell E. Owen Nov. 14, 2012

Nov. 14, 2012

I'm on MacOS X 10.6.8 using 64-bit Python 2.7.2 from python.org (the 10.6 version) and ActiveState Tcl/Tk 8.5.10. I would like to build matplotlib 1.1.0 (in fact I'd like to build an official binary installer) and am running into problems. The build and install goes fine, though with a few odd messages (see appended log). But importing pylab rusults in: objc[1083]: Class TKApplication is implemented in both /Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/Versions/8.5/Tk and /System/Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/Versions/8.5/Tk. One of the two will be used. Which one is undefined. objc[1083]: Class TKMenu is implemented in both /Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/Versions/8.5/Tk and /System/Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/Versions/8.5/Tk. One of the two will be used. Which one is undefined. objc[1083]: Class TKContentView is implemented in both /Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/Versions/8.5/Tk and /System/Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/Versions/8.5/Tk. One of the two will be used. Which one is undefined. objc[1083]: Class TKWindow is implemented in both /Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/Versions/8.5/Tk and /System/Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/Versions/8.5/Tk. One of the two will be used. Which one is undefined. Any idea how to deal with this? Google turned up others with this problem but no obvious solution. -- Russell P.S. partial log of build (not install) of matplotlib: Edit setupext.py to point it to Apple's built-in libraries, plus

py2app strips symlinks in frameworks, need to keep them
by Kevin Walzer May 2, 2012

May 2, 2012

I've had an app rejected from the Mac App Store because required symlinks were not present in the bundled Python framework: Malformed Framework - The framework bundle Python (QuickWho.app/Contents/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7) must contain a symbolic link 'Python' -> 'Versions/Current/Python'. Refer to the Anatomy of Framework Bundles for more information. Malformed Framework - The framework bundle Python (QuickWho.app/Contents/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7) must contain a symbolic link 'Resources' -> 'Versions/Current/Resources'. Refer to the Anatomy of Framework Bundles for more information. Malformed Framework - The framework bundle Python (QuickWho.app/Contents/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7) 'Versions' directory must contain a symbolic link 'Current' resolving to a specific version directory. Refer to the Anatomy of Framework Bundles for more information. These symlinks are present in the original framework on my system, but they appear to be stripped out by py2app. Is there a flag I can pass to py2app to retain these symlinks? I can try to add them manually later in my build script, but it's a pain and I'd rather have py2app not strip them out in the first place. --Kevin -- Kevin Walzer Code by Kevin http://www.codebykevin.com

py2app and zlib ...
by Jonathan Kossick May 2, 2012

May 2, 2012

Hello, I already worked with py2exe and just started to use py2app. Actually I have some problems to include the zlib library. Under py2exe I includet the library in the options but under Mac I get this error: error: cannot copy tree '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/gzip.py': not a directory Do you have any Idea how to fix this? My setup.py file: from setuptools import setup APP = ['startr.py'] DATA_FILES = [] OPTIONS = {'argv_emulation': True, "packages": ["lxml","gzip"]} setup( app=APP, data_files=DATA_FILES, options={'py2app': OPTIONS}, setup_requires=['py2app'], name='programm', )

Help with Py2app
by Charlie Clark April 30, 2012

April 30, 2012

Hi, I'm trying to update the setup script for the LinkChecker project http://linkchecker.sourceforge.net/ because it no longer builds the app and does not work reliably in a virtualenv. I am hoping to build a standalone app and package it as a DMG as the project author no longer has access to Apple hardware. The existing procedure is a bit convoluted in that it is actually driven by a makefile although `bin/python setup.py py2app` should in theory be sufficient. The existing setup.py is monolithic and fairly complicated so I tried to break out the py2app part into a separate script. When I did this and followed the py2app documentation it became clear that the script needs to be updated to use setuptools, at least for the extensions. My knowledge of writing setup scripts is extremely limited. LinkChecker is a QT project and needs Python-SIP. Unfortunately I haven't worked out how the recipe works. Does the py2app automatically detect the dependency and build and package the shared libraries automatically? Thanks for any help.

py2app and nested packages
by Chris Barker April 25, 2012

April 25, 2012

Folks, py2app doesn't seem to do "the right thing" with nested packages. However, it's not entirely clear what it should do... example: the "pubsub" package is delivered with wxPython, so it is commonly imported thusly: from wx.lib.pubsub import Publisher However, in wx.lib.pubsub, there is some trickery in the __init___, so as py2app installs it, ot doesn't work (see previous messages to this and the wxPython list). However, if you do: packages = ['wx.lib.pubsub'] ... in your py2app setup.py, you get the entire pubsub package, but installed in : Peppy.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python2.7/pubsub so it will work, but only if you now import it as: from pubsub import Publisher not too heinous, but it's really nice if we don't have to change imports for the bundled version. if I add 'wx' to packages, It does work, but I've then got all of wx, all of wx.lib, etc, which is really a bit much (the resulting app bundle is 124MB, vs. 60 without specifying the wx package) At first, I thought I'd want: wx/lib/pubsub/.... put on sys.path, with wx and lib empty except the specified dirs. However, that would put two "wx" dirs on sys.path, which would not be good (assuming wx is used...) Would it be possible for the packages specification to be processed after modulegraph is run, and it would then see that "wx" and "wx.lib" are there, and then put all of pubsub in there? Or maybe put the parts of wx and wx.lib that were already going to be included outside the zip bundle? -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

Wanted: list admin for the PythonMac mailing list
by Jack Jansen April 23, 2012

April 23, 2012

Folks, as you've probably noticed:-) the amount of time I spend on the pythonmac-sig mailing list has considerably diminished over the last couple of years. Not that I'm not interested, but I simply don't have the time:-( However, I was still one of the two list maintainers, together with Skip. However, he has called it quits, so I'm now apparently the only list maintainer. It's not a lot of work, really nothing more than looking through the held emails once every week or so. Usually there's a few of them, usually they are all spam, but occasionally there is something that should be let through. Think of an investment of half a minute per week. Then you need to help epoepl with trouble unsubscribing once every year or so. It may be required to take emergency measures once in a very blue moon (I think it happened once in the last 15 years, on one of the many mailing lists I've maintained) such as temporarily shutting the list down in case of spam storms. So, I want a volunteer to be list maintainer. If you already know mailman that's a pre, but learning it doesn't take long either (it's in Python, so it's high quality software:-). I'll continue as a maintainer (as long as you let me:-), but i don't want to be the sole person responsible. -- Jack Jansen, <Jack.Jansen(a)cwi.nl>, http://www.cwi.nl/~jack If I can't dance I don't want to be part of your revolution -- Emma Goldman

New unofficial binary installers
by Russell E. Owen April 20, 2012

April 20, 2012

I just created some unofficial binary installers for the python.org's 64-bit python 2.7.2 for Mac OS X 10.6 and later. They are available here: <http://www.astro.washington.edu/users/rowen/python/> and include: - pyfits 3.0.7 (did not run unit tests; I can't seem to find them) - PIL 1.1.7 (includes all dependencies and passes all tests) - pygame 1.9.1 (includes all dependencies except SCAN; of 408 tests there were 3 errors--including two png tests--and two failures) -- Russell

Problems with CoreGraphics API post-Snow Leopard
by João Leão April 19, 2012

April 19, 2012

Hi list I have an old script using the CoreGraphics API that's no longer working properly since Snow Leopard. I' running Lion with the default Python, which is 2.7.1. I googled about this and it seems that's because Python is 64-bit now and some old data types don't work anymore. The first error I got was in the function CGBitmapContextCreateWithColor. The Console spits the following error: --- TypeError: in method 'CGBitmapContextCreateWithColor', argument 4 of type 'CGFloat const [5]' --- My code looks like this: c = CGBitmapContextCreateWithColor(new_Width, new_Height, cs, (0,0,0,0)) The problem is in the last argument "(0, 0, 0, 0)" [a color reference] which, the new API expects to be CGFloatArray. I couldn't find any documentation on how to create such an object in python but, fortunately, I found some code here http://stuffineededtoknow.blogspot.pt/2009_01_01_archive.html that solved this issue: --- bg = CGFloatArray(5) c = CGBitmapContextCreateWithColor(new_Width, new_Height, cs, bg) --- But now I'm getting another error (and I'll probably get some more) with another function that expects a CGFloat object instead of a plain integer. The code looks like this: --- self.pdf.drawPlainTextInRect(text_prov, textRect, 10) --- And the error (again caused by the last argument, in this case "10"): --- TypeError: in method 'CGContext_drawPlainTextInRect', argument 4 of type 'CGFloat' --- I'm sure that it can't be so hard to create a CGFloat but I didn't find the right documentation or sample code to do it. Does anybody know how to do this? Thanks in advance. João
