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

py2app and PyQt: QT plugins cause loading multiple QT library versions
by Michael McCracken Nov. 28, 2012

Nov. 28, 2012

New user, so new thread, in reference to "(PyQt and py2app) Gui starts in IDLE but not as app". This happens when Qt loads image plugins from the system location (likely set during Qt's configure), which then load the system Qt. The problem and a workaround are described here: http://lists.trolltech.com/qt-interest/2008-09/thread00258-0.html py2app's PyQt sample doesn't exercise enough of Qt to hit this problem. I'm not sure exactly what part of Qt you'd need to trigger it, but I guess the Color Picker might work. The quick way, if you know you don't need these plugins, is to create an empty qt.conf file at MyApp.app/Contents/Resources/qt.conf. The plugin search path can be set in that qt.conf, or an empty one just stops it from looking for plugins. I've verified that an empty file avoids the issue, haven't tested setting the path. For py2app, I guess some thought is required for a nice API to handle this case, since these are C dylibs that won't be detected at bundle time. Ideally, we could have an option that takes a list of qt plugins we need, and creates the appropriate qt.conf. There isn't a quick way to add this in, so I thought I'd ask for comments on how it should be designed. I will probably need plugin support soon, and I'd like to be able to contribute the change back. Thanks, -mike

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.

py2app: works for me on 10.6, not 10.7
by Michael McCracken Aug. 2, 2012

Aug. 2, 2012

Hi, my py2app setup script is working fine if I run it on 10.6, but on 10.7 I've run into some problems. I want a standalone app, and on 10.6 I didn't specify semi_standalone: False in the options, and it worked fine. On 10.7, it appeared to be using the system python (loading old system versions of some dependencies), and on a quick look through the py2app code it seemed to be deciding it was semi-standalone, so I added semi_standalone: False. This solved results in a app wrapper without the Python.framework copied in, giving me the "Python runtime could not be located" error. Is there something obvious I'm missing in moving builds to 10.7? Thanks, -mike

Concise documentation for PyObjC?
by John Velman July 30, 2012

July 30, 2012

I'm on OSX 10.7.4 (and will probably move to 10.8 soon). My XCode is 4.3.3. I'm writing a minimalist program to examine and edit markdown. Since the basic program is pretty minimal I want to add plugin extensions. I found this excellent example by Steven Degutis, from back in 2010, (Xcode 3): (http://www.informit.com/blogs/blog.aspx?uk=Ask-Big-Nerd-Ranch-Adding-Python…) Using this as an example, I added a plugin management class (ObjC), and added a class implemented in Python to execute the plugins. I added Python.framework to my project in the usual way. I used some Steven Degutis' plugins to test it. Everything worked with no problem. Very easy! (The XCode 4.3.3 application includes Python.framework for both 2.6 and 2.7., and PyObjC is in there). I've looked for documentation with Google, and so far I've learned - PyObjC is s.o.l. - PyObjC is e.o.l. - There are a million old tutorials on using PyObjC to build a whole app. - There is a new version of PyObjC comming out shortly (probably right, I think I found this on this list) - PyObjC is no longer included in XCode (WRONG). - PyObjC doesn't work on Lion (WRONG). But I can't find any documentation. I'd really like it if someone could point me to some concise documentation. I don't need GUI templates in IB. I don't even need Python file templates. And I don't think I want a tutorial. Just some syntax and semantics for def, @classmethod, other things that I might need that aren't in the examples. Since everything works so well and so easily, I'd like to stick with Python instead of learning Lua, using AppleScript, or any of 100 other possible solutions. Thanks, John Velman

py2app bunlding scikits-image etc.

July 23, 2012

Hey guys, didn't know where else to post so I thought I'd give this list a shot. I've been googling a lot but hasn't been able to find any reasonable answers. I'm on a macbook running Lion trying to bundle a pretty extensive application that's using: * wxPython * numpy * scipy * reportlab I'm using python2.7 and py2app for the bundling and here's the setup.py file: import ez_setup ez_setup.use_setuptools() from setuptools import setup Plist={} DATA_FILES = ['../rm_logo.jpg'] OPTIONS = {'argv_emulation': True, 'plist': Plist, } setup( app=["../sasdm.py"], data_files=DATA_FILES, description="Description", author="Author", options={'py2app': OPTIONS}, setup_requires=["py2app"], ) I've tried both python setup.py py2app and sudo python setup.py py2app The bundling always ends up failing with the message: error: cannot copy tree '/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/skimage/data/chessboard_GRAY_U8.npz': not a directory I've confirmed that "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/skimage/data/chessboard_GRAY_U8.npz" in fact does exist. I've installed the latest development version of scikits-image too but no apparent difference there. I appreciate any clues. Regards -- Nicklas Nordenmark

Charlie, Really!? How can you tell that from what I sent? The issue I have with homebrew (which btw, is the package manager I would prefer to use…), is that I can't get pyserial to install under homebrew. I know there is a way to build an installer using homebrew, but pyserial isn't available under git , and I went looking for another 'path' to the goal, since I really didn't want to build everything from scratch! As far as I can tell there isn't any one place that describes who puts what where for OS X. Is anyone aware of one? I'm *really* thinking about starting one! Also, what do you mean that installing PyQt with homebrew "will limit the effectiveness of any virtualenv"? I couldn't seem to get my virtual environment to find PyQt. I even tried copying it to the virtual environment, as someone on Stack Overflow had suggested. I just feel like I can manage to get to 98%, but never get any one install to work entirely. I feel so close to a solution, but it is always just out of reach...

Ned, Thanks for the help. I am VERY grateful for any assistance I can get with this. It appears that I have two issues. First is that I am not using the system python (maybe I shouldn't be), secondly that the version of PyQt in that directory is compiled for 64 bit. At least that is what I believe the following is telling me… ???

Question about py2app packages and includes options
by Michael McCracken July 18, 2012

July 18, 2012

I am trying to package a main .app with helper apps in Main.app/Resources/Helper.app, and I want to have a single Resources/lib directory and a single Frameworks/ directory to cut down on space. So I'm tweaking the main app's includes and packages options to get all the dependencies in one place, and relying on the automatic logic won't work. My question is: why does 'packages' copy the package recursively, but not into the .zip, while 'includes' only gets single modules? I was expecting packages to put the whole package in the .zip, and I didn't find any explanation in the docs. This is a minor point, since it works fine with 'packages' doing what it does, it'd just be nice to get them into the zip. Thanks, -mike
