Py2app error
by Mark Livingstone July 18, 2012

July 18, 2012

Hello, Using both EPD 7.3 academic and free, I have tried to use py2app to make an installer. This is the first time I have tried to do this. I will ask on their mailing list as well. My setup.py script looks like this: import wx import sys # Application Information APP = "salstat.py" NAME = 'SalStat' VERSION = '2.2' PACKAGES = [''] URL = 'http://code.google.com/p/salstat-statistics-package-2/' LICENSE = 'GPL 2' AUTHOR = 'Sebastian' AUTHOR_EMAIL = 'selobu(a)gmail.com' DESCRIPTION = 'Statistics Package' YEAR = 2012 # End of Application Information def BuildOSXApp(): """ Build the OSX Applet """ from setuptools import setup # py2app uses this to generate the plist xml for the applet copyright = "Copyright %s %s" % (AUTHOR, YEAR) appid = "com.%s.%s" % (NAME, NAME) PLIST = dict(CFBundleName = NAME, CFBundleIconFile = 'salstat.ico', CFBundleShortVersionString = VERSION, CFBundleGetInfoString = NAME + " " + VERSION, CFBundleExecutable = NAME, CFBundleIdentifier = appid, CFBundleTypeMIMETypes = ['text/plain'], CFBundleDevelopmentRegion = 'English', NSHumanReadableCopyright = copyright ) PY2APP_OPTS = dict(iconfile = "salstat.ico", argv_emulation = True, plist = PLIST) setup( app = [APP,], version = VERSION, options = dict( py2app = PY2APP_OPTS), description = NAME, author = AUTHOR, author_email = AUTHOR_EMAIL, url = URL, setup_requires = ['py2app'], ) if __name__ == '__main__': if wx.Platform == '__WXMAC__': # OS X BuildOSXApp() else: print "Unsupported platform: %s" % wx.Platform When I run it, it starts off fine and seems to work until it quits like this: <snip> creating /Users/mlivingstone/Documents/workspace/salstat-statistics-package-2/src/dist/SalStat.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload/PIL creating /Users/mlivingstone/Documents/workspace/salstat-statistics-package-2/src/dist/SalStat.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload/wx copying /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/7.3/Resources/Python.app/Contents/MacOS/Python -> /Users/mlivingstone/Documents/workspace/salstat-statistics-package-2/src/dist/SalStat.app/Contents/MacOS/python creating /Users/mlivingstone/Documents/workspace/salstat-statistics-package-2/src/dist/SalStat.app/Contents/Frameworks/Python.framework creating /Users/mlivingstone/Documents/workspace/salstat-statistics-package-2/src/dist/SalStat.app/Contents/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions creating /Users/mlivingstone/Documents/workspace/salstat-statistics-package-2/src/dist/SalStat.app/Contents/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/7.3 creating /Users/mlivingstone/Documents/workspace/salstat-statistics-package-2/src/dist/SalStat.app/Contents/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/7.3/Resources creating /Users/mlivingstone/Documents/workspace/salstat-statistics-package-2/src/dist/SalStat.app/Contents/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/7.3/include creating /Users/mlivingstone/Documents/workspace/salstat-statistics-package-2/src/dist/SalStat.app/Contents/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/7.3/include/python2.7 creating /Users/mlivingstone/Documents/workspace/salstat-statistics-package-2/src/dist/SalStat.app/Contents/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/7.3/lib creating /Users/mlivingstone/Documents/workspace/salstat-statistics-package-2/src/dist/SalStat.app/Contents/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/7.3/lib/python7.3 creating /Users/mlivingstone/Documents/workspace/salstat-statistics-package-2/src/dist/SalStat.app/Contents/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/7.3/lib/python7.3/config copying /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/7.3/Python -> /Users/mlivingstone/Documents/workspace/salstat-statistics-package-2/src/dist/SalStat.app/Contents/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/7.3 copying /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/7.3/Resources/Info.plist -> /Users/mlivingstone/Documents/workspace/salstat-statistics-package-2/src/dist/SalStat.app/Contents/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/7.3/Resources copying /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/7.3/include/python2.7/pyconfig.h -> /Users/mlivingstone/Documents/workspace/salstat-statistics-package-2/src/dist/SalStat.app/Contents/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/7.3/include/python2.7 error: can't copy '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/7.3/lib/python7.3/config/Makefile': doesn't exist or not a regular file Looking back through the mile of screen space I have snipped, it seems to have successfully found all the other dependencies like wx, numpy, scipy etc. When I check, indeed that file (Makefile) does not exist at that location. Thanks in advance for any help! MarkL

Charlie, Thanks for the response. Part of the reason I was trying to use virtualenv was to 'disconnect' from a few years of builds (some successful/ some unsuccessful). I was hoping to avoid doing a 'clean install' of my machine and reinstall of of the apps etc. The latest attempt is to perform a 'new' install of PyQT and then copy the site-packages directory into the virtual environment (or possibly sym link it). I think this one shows the most promise for getting an environment that will not only run my PyQT apps but allow me to build a distribution version with py2app (which I have NEVER managed to be able to do!!) I'll let you all know how it goes, Iv'e got my finger's crossed!

Bundling zmq with py2app
by Thomas Robitaille July 16, 2012

July 16, 2012

Hi everyone, I am trying to build a MacOS X application using py2app, and am running into issues with the python zmq module. For example, if I have a setup.py script with: from setuptools import setup OPTIONS = { 'argv_emulation': False, 'includes': ['zmq'], 'excludes': [], } setup( app=['test.py'], data_files=[], options={'py2app': OPTIONS}, setup_requires=['py2app'], ) and test.py contains: import zmq.core.constants and I build with: python setup.py py2app then I get the following exception when trying to launch the resulting .app file: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/tom/Dropbox/zmq/dist/test.app/Contents/Resources/__boot__.py", line 39, in <module> _run('test.py') File "/Users/tom/Dropbox/zmq/dist/test.app/Contents/Resources/__boot__.py", line 36, in _run execfile(path, globals(), globals()) File "/Users/tom/Dropbox/zmq/dist/test.app/Contents/Resources/test.py", line 1, in <module> import zmq.core.constants File "zmq/__init__.pyc", line 29, in <module> File "zmq/core/__init__.pyc", line 26, in <module> File "zmq/core/error.pyc", line 18, in <module> File "zmq/core/error.pyc", line 11, in __load File "error.pyx", line 34, in init zmq.core.error (zmq/core/error.c:1195) ImportError: No module named strtypes Does anyone have any idea how to get this working? Thanks! Tom

Charlie, I tried virtualenv after reading lots of people extolling it's virtues. Having had little luck with other methods I thought I would give it a try. I have managed to get this all built on my MacBookPro which is running Snow Leopard, but not on my desktop machine (iMac). HomeBrew lists PyQT as installed, but when I try to run some code it fails with a "can't find module". What I don't get is why python can't locate the installed modules. Do you have any hints as to how I can track this down?

PyQT works fine on Lion and it did on Snow Leopard. I know you're using Homebrew but you might want to try using the MacPorts version because it will install the binary and save you a heck of a build time. I use it to build LinkChecker on Mac OS. > > Charlie > --

Hi, I have been trying to build a version of Python and PyQT for some time now on my iMac (Core 2 Duo) running 10.7.4 I have not been able to get any configuration(s) to work properly.

question
by Ed Pataky July 10, 2012

July 10, 2012

i have a mac where i installed python, and tornado web server .. i used py2app and created an executable which wraps my tornado kickoff script into an executable .. works ok sometimes, but i am confused about a couple things: 1) when i run the app, since it is essentially a command line script with no GUI, i see nothing, although i is running ... how can i create the app so that it opens the terminal and shows the output? 2) sometimes it gets blocked by the firewall and sometimes it does not .. i have manually gone in and added it to he allowed list in the firewall, then as soon as it tries to open a port, the firewall blocks it ... i am not sure how i did it but i got it work a few times, then sometimes it is blocked .. how can i make sure when i run the app, it has full permission without having to mess with the firewall setting ... for example, is there an admin option when making the executable? 3) Finally, i am not sure what is actually wrapped in the executable, using basic standard options without specifying libraries to load, etc .. will the executable have the tornado related libraries already there, or it will only run on a mac with tornado already installed ... ? my macs have tornado so i cannot test this unless i uninstall it ... i guess my question is, is it smart enough to know to include all the tornado stuff too? ed

Problem Running App built with Py2App
by Michael Forzano July 8, 2012

July 8, 2012

Hi All, I'm trying to build an app with Py2app. I'm on Python2.7 and Mac OSX 10.7. The error occurs on OSX 10.5 as well. The app builds successfully, but when running it in console with the command: rsg.app/Content/MacOS/rsg I get the following error: 2012-07-05 20:34:56.090 rsg[7483:707] rsg Error Does anyone know what's going on or how we might be able to get some more information, i.e. a stack trace? The app uses WXPython among other things. The app ran fine when built on 2.6, but due to our updated code depending on 2.7 this is no longer an option. If you guys need more info let me know, as this error isn't very descriptive so not sure where to even start looking for the cause. Thanks, Mike
