Python 3. OS/X 10.6 Ipython
by John Riordan April 9, 2011

April 9, 2011

I am trying to get IPython running with Python 3.1 on OS/X 10.6.3. The install script for IPython configures it to run with Python 2.6. Is there a way around this?

Problem with py2app 0.6

I used easy_install to install py2app 0.6 and tried it out on one of several applications I distribute. Unfortunately the build failed with; *** using recipe: virtualenv *** *** using recipe: PIL *** *** using recipe: matplotlib *** *** using recipe: pydoc *** *** using recipe: scipy *** *** using recipe: pygame *** *** using recipe: numpy *** *** filtering dependencies *** 1156 total 82 filtered 11 orphaned 1074 remaining *** create binaries *** *** byte compile python files *** XXX byte-compiling fn=/Users/rowen/TUI_1.8.6_Source/BuildForMac/build/bdist.macosx-10.4-fat/ python2.6-standalone/app/collect/ConfigParser.pyc.py cfile=/Users/rowen/TUI_1.8.6_Source/BuildForMac/build/bdist.macosx-10.4-f at/python2.6-standalone/app/collect/ConfigParser.pyc dfile=ConfigParser.pyc ...

py2app, argv-emulation, and 64-bit
by Josh Powell March 30, 2011

March 30, 2011

Hi all- I'm still relatively new to python, and very new to py2app. I'm looking for a workaround to the issue that "argv-emulation is not supported for 64-bit executables." I have a fairly simple script that processes a text file, and would like to make a drag and drop app for users who aren't comfortable with the command line. Could anyone suggest a way around this error? My next move is to try building in Leopard, but would appreciate other suggestions (esp. if they don't require my finding a Leopard system.) TIA, Josh Powell

Re: [Pythonmac-SIG] a word of warning for pyobjc users
by hstrey＠notes.cc.sunysb.edu March 29, 2011

March 29, 2011

I am currently working with XCode 4 and PyObjC. Despite the earlier warning, XCode 4's interface builder supports python. So, for example, objc.IBOutlet() and @objc.IBAction are showing up as outlets and actions for making connections in interface builder. I also have no problems importing classes from python to the interface builder. Let me know if anyone finds things that do not work Helmut H.

py2app 0.6
by Ronald Oussoren March 29, 2011

March 29, 2011

I've just upload py2app 0.6 to PyPI (as well as new versions of altgraph, modulegraph and macholib). These are primairily a bugfix releases, and I've been working on (unit)tests for these packages. That work isn't finished yet, the codebase of modulegraph and py2app doesn't lean itself to proper unittests (too much unnecessary interdependencies) which makes writing the tests hard. But at least there now is a testsuite that will grow in future releases. The unittests ran successfully with python 2.5 upto 3.2. Ronald

Silly me for thinking the module name was the same as the package. I read that page more than once too. Grrr Pyserial works fine now. Thanks Ned.

Can't import pyserial- after installing with easy_install on OSX 10.6.6
by Tony Cappellini March 21, 2011

March 21, 2011

I've installed pyserail via easy_install by -> easy_install pyserial When I import pyserial, it cannot be found. Looking at /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages pyserial doesn't have a directory via the same name. There is this pyserial-2.5-py2.7.egg however. Is this typical for installing packages on OSX? Did the installer not complete?

Anyone tried to build python or extensions with XCode 4.0?
by Russell E. Owen March 20, 2011

March 20, 2011

Has anyone tried to build python or extensions with XCode 4.0? If so, do you have any hints, such as: - Which C compilers to use or avoid - How to make the results backward-compatible with 10.5 and possibly even 10.4 -- Russell

maybe you need to use the constant instead of "CSV", i.e. k.CSV_file_format On Fri, Mar 18, 2011 at 12:00, <pythonmac-sig-request(a)python.org> wrote: > Send Pythonmac-SIG mailing list submissions to > pythonmac-sig(a)python.org > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > pythonmac-sig-request(a)python.org > > You can reach the person managing the list at > pythonmac-sig-owner(a)python.org > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of Pythonmac-SIG digest..." > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

Ok. I figured the CSV part out, but paths for saving in appscript are kicking my butt. If anyone has any suggestions I'd appreciate them.
