py2app- python code packed in clear ascii
by the Shelter Nov. 20, 2008

Nov. 20, 2008

Hi, after a lot of python programming on linux and windows I have now taken up the task of converting/ adapting my apps (python/wxPython) to the mac. I tried to bundle my apps w/ py2app but had to find out that it seems like it packs my sources in clear ascii and not in binary form- somewhat unusual after having worked w/ py2exe ... Am I missing something? Right now I am on 10.4 w/ latest python and py2app- all from python.org- not the Apple versions. thanX

Creating Application()
by N3buK4Dn3ZZ4r Sept. 3, 2008

Sept. 3, 2008

Hi there. I'm not a complete newbie in python, but in building GUIs. I've worked around a bit with Tkinter and I think, I can handle this one, but I also tried to work with the "FrameWork" module, to create Menubars and this kind of stuff. But I did not even get a Application() object createt. Could anyone please post a simple code example, that creates a Application() Object and a Menuitem or something like this? Thank you very much, N3buK4Dn3ZZ4r -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Creating-Application%28%29-tp19133860p19133860.html Sent from the Python - pythonmac-sig mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Py2App and Appscript / wxPython
by Joseph W. Losco Sept. 1, 2008

Sept. 1, 2008

Hey all, I have an app that I've been trying to compile / bundle with py2app for a little while now. I have been having some trouble and I did a little research online and learned that py2app can't bundle egg files, except I thought I saw somewhere that the SVN version can.. So I've tried with easy_install py2app==dev with its dependancy modulegraph==dev. I also tried downloading the uncompiled source of appscript (which I'm not sure if i did properly, but i did a python setup.py develop so that it would not compile to an egg. The error I'm getting is listed below as well as my setup.py (with minor error differences that I can tell from the versions of py2app and appscript) Any help would be greatly appreciated. Joe Losco Error after running python setup.py py2app running py2app Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/josephlosco/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/ py2app-0.4.2-py2.5.egg/py2app/build_app.py", line 579, in _run self.run_normal() File "/Users/josephlosco/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/ py2app-0.4.2-py2.5.egg/py2app/build_app.py", line 631, in run_normal mf = self.get_modulefinder() File "/Users/josephlosco/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/ py2app-0.4.2-py2.5.egg/py2app/build_app.py", line 539, in get_modulefinder debug=debug, File "build/bdist.macosx-10.3-i386/egg/modulegraph/ find_modules.py", line 255, in find_modules find_needed_modules(mf, scripts, includes, packages) File "build/bdist.macosx-10.3-i386/egg/modulegraph/ find_modules.py", line 190, in find_needed_modules path = m.packagepath[0] TypeError: 'NoneType' object is unsubscriptable > /Users/josephlosco/Code/hg/CalendarSyncGUI/build/bdist.macosx-10.3- i386/egg/modulegraph/find_modules.py(190)find_needed_modules() My setup.py file is as follows. #!/usr/bin/env python """ setup.py - script for building CalendarSync Usage: % python setup.py py2app """ from distutils.core import setup import py2app from plistlib import Plist import os name = 'CalendarSync' version = '1.0.0' # Build the .app file setup( app=[ name + '.py' ], options=dict( py2app=dict( iconfile='CalendarSync.icns', packages=['wx','appscript'], site_packages=True, resources=['resources/COPYING','CalendarSync.icns'], plist=dict( CFBundleName = "CalendarSync", CFBundleShortVersionString = "1.0.0", # must be in X.X.X format CFBundleGetInfoString = "CalendarSync 1.0.0", CFBundleExecutable = "CalendarSync", ), ), ), )

Rocketship in the Dock

Probably because Apache doesn't run as a normal user so it can't get a GUI context. This is a bummer, I was able to use rb-appscript from a web script, I wish I could use py-appscript... Someone on this thread mentioned forking appscript to take out the GUI stuff, any chance they would share those changes with me?

Making setuptools compile for x86_64
by John Porter Simons Aug. 31, 2008

Aug. 31, 2008

I'm new to this list, sorry if this was already asked. I installed (py-)appscript using "setup.py install" and it works fine from an interactive session, but when I try to use it from python loaded into Apache through mod_python, I get this error: Could not import darkporter.jukebox.views. Error was: dlopen(/Library/WebServer/.python-eggs/appscript-0.19.0-py2.5-macosx-10.5-i386.egg-tmp/aem/ae.so, 2): no suitable image found. Did find: /Library/WebServer/.python-eggs/appscript-0.19.0-py2.5-macosx-10.5-i386.egg-tmp/aem/ae.so: no matching architecture in universal wrapper Which I think is because Apache runs in 64-bit so any scripts loaded in also will? If I do "file" on that .so I get: /Library/WebServer/.python-eggs/appscript-0.19.0-py2.5-macosx-10.5-i386.egg-tmp/aem/ae.so: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures /Library/WebServer/.python-eggs/appscript-0.19.0-py2.5-macosx-10.5-i386.egg-tmp/aem/ae.so (for architecture i386): Mach-O bundle i386 /Library/WebServer/.python-eggs/appscript-0.19.0-py2.5-macosx-10.5-i386.egg-tmp/aem/ae.so (for architecture ppc7400): Mach-O bundle ppc Any way to inform setuptools that I also need "x86_64" architecture? I also ran into this problem while installing mod_python, dinked around with the makefile flags but gave up until I discovered that the latest subversion trunk has the correct flags for 64-bit. If I really have to I could recompile Apache in 32-bit, but I'm hoping that won't be necessary.

Dunno offhand; might have time to look into it tomorrow unless anyone else has any ideas. As you say, Mail's scripting interface is less than stellar. BTW, you could also try asking on Apple's AppleScript- users mailing list; I expect there's a few folk there who've had dealings with Mail as well and might be able to shed some light on the problem.

This can make all the difference. not just the version number, but what build, how/where was it installed? I think the build from python,org is your best bet if you want to distribute with py2app. -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

I am trying to do a framework build to import tk and python2.5 for my application bundle with py2app This is the page I've been looking at: http://livingcode.org/tag/distribution """ This is a setup.py script generated by py2applet Usage: python setup.py py2app """ import objc, AppKit, Foundation, os from setuptools import setup objc.loadBundle('Tcl.framework', globals(), bundle_path='/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework') APP = ['appName.py'] DATA_FILES = [] OPTIONS = {'argv_emulation': True} setup( app=APP, data_files=DATA_FILES, options={'py2app': OPTIONS}, setup_requires=['Tcl.framework'], ) do I have to add anything to the appName.py to inorder to build these and execute them on other machines that maynot have tk or have an earlier version of python installed? also are there any command line arguments when running the /usr/bin/pyhton setup.py py2app --framework=Tcl.framework --framework=Python.framework?

py2app PyOpenGL "Unable to find an implementation" Error
by David Selassie Aug. 27, 2008

Aug. 27, 2008

I'm trying to package up a program I wrote that uses PyOpenGL-3.0.0b4-py2.5.egg, numpy-1.1.1-py2.5-macosx-10.3-ppc.egg installed with easy_install and PIL. I know there's been a bit of trouble getting PyOpenGL scripts to play nicely in py2app, but I have not been able to find any help about anyone that has run into the error "RuntimeError: Unable to find an implementation for the 'darwin' ('posix') platform". Generating the app file runs without complaint but this error occurs when trying to run the program. Does anyone have any suggestions as to the cause or what to do?
