Python completion in emacs fails on OSX
by Leo April 18, 2012

It seems the python interpreter built by Apple doesn't behave like the ones built from upstream. See this: http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=10295#19 Any idea what's happened to python from apple? Leo

On this page: http://docs.python.org/library/mac.html, so what replace these removed modules? Thanks. Leo

Error upgrading py2app from 0.6.3 to 0.6.4, and building with AppKit import
by Paul April 13, 2012

April 13, 2012

After upgrading from py2app 0.6.3 to 0.6.4 when I run my build script I get the following error: creating python loader for extension 'wx._controls_' error: /Users/testadmin/Source/PythonApp/build/bdist.macosx-10.3-fat/ python2.7-standalone/app/temp/wx/_controls_.py: No such file or directory If I switch back to 0.6.3 everything works fine again. The reason I was trying 0.6.4 is I have an odd problem where I've added some imports from the AppKit module (from AppKit import NSApp,NSApplication) and it works fine when running the program straight through python, but after building with py2app when I run it I get a "quit unexpectedly" error, with EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS) as the reason with the following traceback in console: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Applications/ZipCloud.app/Contents/Resources/__boot__.py", line 187, in <module> _run('mainframe.py') File "/Applications/ZipCloud.app/Contents/Resources/__boot__.py", line 184, in _run execfile(path, globals(), globals()) File "/Applications/ZipCloud.app/Contents/Resources/mainframe.py", line 1, in <module> import PythonApp.mainframe_main_new File "PythonApp/mainframe_main_new.pyc", line 122, in <module> File "PythonApp/mainframe_mac.pyc", line 18, in <module> File "PythonApp/backup.pyc", line 49, in <module> File "PythonApp/popups.pyc", line 17, in <module> File "PythonApp/newpops.pyc", line 6, in <module> File "AppKit/__init__.pyc", line 9, in <module> File "Foundation/__init__.pyc", line 10, in <module> File "CoreFoundation/__init__.pyc", line 19, in <module> File "objc/_bridgesupport.pyc", line 140, in initFrameworkWrapper File "objc/_bridgesupport.pyc", line 42, in _parseBridgeSupport ValueError: Don't know CF type for typestr '^{__CFAllocator=}', cannot create special wrapper I'm guessing this must be something is getting left out when the dependancies are being pulled in? but I'm really not sure!

py2app - ImportError using pycrypto
by Terry Simons April 12, 2012

April 12, 2012

Hi, I'm using py2applet to build a tool that uses paramiko/pycrypto. Everything seems to build fine, but I get an error when launching my app that pycrypto's Crypto/Util/_counter.so object couldn't be found. It looks like the app is trying to load it from the OS installed Python, which I am a bit surprised by, since I've included --site-packages, and everything appears to be getting bundled up correctly. I poked around in the module and didn't find any hard-coded paths or anything like that, so I'm at a loss, but it looks like it's attempting to load from /usr/lib instead of my App's bundle... is that a red herring, or is it really loading from the wrong place? The _counter.so file is definitely present in the App's Contents/Resources/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload directory, but the app isn't apparently finding it when it launches. Here's the error that I'm seeing: 4/11/12 1:29:47.273 AM [0x0-0x115115].org.pythonmac.unspecified.test_example: File "build/bdist.macosx-10.7-intel/egg/paramiko/__init__.py", line 69, in <module> 4/11/12 1:29:47.273 AM [0x0-0x115115].org.pythonmac.unspecified.test_example: File "build/bdist.macosx-10.7-intel/egg/paramiko/transport.py", line 32, in <module> 4/11/12 1:29:47.273 AM [0x0-0x115115].org.pythonmac.unspecified.test_example: File "build/bdist.macosx-10.7-intel/egg/paramiko/util.py", line 32, in <module> 4/11/12 1:29:47.273 AM [0x0-0x115115].org.pythonmac.unspecified.test_example: File "build/bdist.macosx-10.7-intel/egg/paramiko/common.py", line 98, in <module> 4/11/12 1:29:47.273 AM [0x0-0x115115].org.pythonmac.unspecified.test_example: File "build/bdist.macosx-10.7-intel/egg/Crypto/Random/__init__.py", line 29, in <module> 4/11/12 1:29:47.273 AM [0x0-0x115115].org.pythonmac.unspecified.test_example: File "build/bdist.macosx-10.7-intel/egg/Crypto/Random/_UserFriendlyRNG.py", line 38, in <module> 4/11/12 1:29:47.273 AM [0x0-0x115115].org.pythonmac.unspecified.test_example: File "build/bdist.macosx-10.7-intel/egg/Crypto/Random/Fortuna/FortunaAccumulator.py", line 39, in <module> 4/11/12 1:29:47.273 AM [0x0-0x115115].org.pythonmac.unspecified.test_example: File "build/bdist.macosx-10.7-intel/egg/Crypto/Random/Fortuna/FortunaGenerator.py", line 35, in <module> 4/11/12 1:29:47.273 AM [0x0-0x115115].org.pythonmac.unspecified.test_example: File "build/bdist.macosx-10.7-intel/egg/Crypto/Util/Counter.py", line 30, in <module> 4/11/12 1:29:47.273 AM [0x0-0x115115].org.pythonmac.unspecified.test_example: File "Crypto/Util/_counter.pyc", line 18, in <module> 4/11/12 1:29:47.273 AM [0x0-0x115115].org.pythonmac.unspecified.test_example: File "Crypto/Util/_counter.pyc", line 15, in __load 4/11/12 1:29:47.273 AM [0x0-0x115115].org.pythonmac.unspecified.test_example: ImportError: '/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload/Crypto/Util/_counter.so' not found Thanks for any suggestions. - Terry

Setting metadata (creator, type, or uti)
by FZiegler April 9, 2012

April 9, 2012

I've been using a dovecot IMAP server on localhost as my local mail store (to have it in standard Maildir format and accessible by any client). I also want to make it searchable in Spotlight. Ideally this could be done by appending '.eml' to every mail file so that they get picked up by Apple's mail importer; unfortunately this is ruled out by dovecot's existing scheme to name emails. The workaround I found is the Mew importer (http://www.mew.org/en/feature/spotlight.html) which can work based on Mac file type. For this I periodically set all messages' HFS file type with this script: import os, fnmatch for root, dirs, files in os.walk('/Volumes/Home/FZ/Mail'): for filename in files: if not fnmatch.fnmatch(filename, 'dovecot*'): filepath = os.path.join(root, filename) os.system('/usr/bin/SetFile -t MewX \"' + filepath + '\"') This works, but is very slow with 20,000+ system calls per run. Hence my questions: 1) Is there a more efficient way to set file type? I tried using library functions in Carbon.File.FSSpec instead, but found that they no longer work (http://bugs.python.org/issue7807). 2) Or is something else (the 'uti'?) I could set so that the mails actually get indexed by Apple's mail importer? Following is some possibly relevant output of `locate lsregister` -dump.
