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.

Which one is undefined. objc[1083]: Class TKWindow is implemented in both /Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/Versions/8.5/Tk and /System/Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/Versions/8.5/Tk.

Google turned up others with this problem but no obvious solution. -- Russell P.S. partial log of build (not install) of matplotlib: Edit setupext.py to point it to Apple's built-in libraries, plus

py2app bug with argv_emulation=True
by Michael O'Donnell June 3, 2012

June 3, 2012

Dear all, I have a Tkinter application which is then packaged into an App using py2app. I (and various others) have a problem that Windows don't lift to visibility under MacOSX Lion, at least using Python 2.7.2, Tk8.5 Lion 10.7.4 and py2app 2.6.4 IF argv_emulation is set to True This can be demonstatrated by the following scripts: File 1: test.py --------------------- from Tkinter import * tk = Tk() fr=Frame(tk, height=400, width=400) fr.pack() def openWin(): t=Toplevel(tk) Button(t, text="Close", command=lambda w=t: w.destroy()).pack() for i in range(4): for j in range(4): Button(fr, text="Open", command=openWin).grid(row=i, column=j) tk.mainloop() -------------------- File 2: PackageMaker.py --------------------- rom setuptools import setup import sys sys.argv=[sys.argv[0]] sys.argv.append("py2app") setup( app=['test.py'], data_files=[], options={'py2app': {'argv_emulation': True, 'resources': []}}, setup_requires=['py2app'], ) -------------------- Now, the test.py script works fine when executed from Idle or using pythonw. It just doesn't work as expected when packaged as an executable by py2app. Windows do not appear when the buttons are pressed. (but note: the application does work when run from a console using: test.app/Contents/MacOS/test ) Kevin Walzer verified the behaviour I report on his machine. He found that if you set argv_emulation to False, the program worked as expected. NOW, I need argv_emulation, since a user might open my application by double clicking on a document associated with my program. I don't want to lose this functionality (which users are used to by now) just because of a bug. Now, I find it atrange that a bit of code which deals with passing command line args to the program should mess up Tkinter's windowing, just doesn't make sense. Anybody know of a workaround? Or is this a true bug that can be fixed? Mick O'Donnell

py-appscript 32-bit terminology.dump() attempts failing in Lion
by steve harley May 8, 2012

May 8, 2012

i am sending commands to FileMaker Pro 12 Advanced via py-appscript on OS X 10.7.4; i'm getting the same behavior noted in a thread from July 2010 — specifically, AppleScript can use terms from the app's dictionary normally, but py-appscript gets a truncated dictionary that is apparently the Cocoa default, and has none of the terms needed for constructive work with FileMaker in that thread, this was Has' workaround, which apparently worked for the OP using FileMaker 11 (no OS version noted): > As a workaround, use the dump function in appscript.terminology to export the FMP dictionary to a static module and pass that module when creating app objects, like this: app('FileMaker Pro', terms=fmp11terminologymodule). Make sure you run the dump command under 32-bit Python (use 'arch -i386' followed by the path to the python interpreter in the Python.framework bundle) as it uses OSAGetAppTerminology, which isn't present in OS X's 64-bit APIs. > <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/pythonmac-sig/2010-July/022453.html> i'm on OS X 10.7.3 using stock python, so i've tried these incantations to run 32-bit python for the task: arch -i386 /usr/bin/python2.7 arch -i386 /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/pythonw2.7 in both cases i issue the dump command like this >>> import appscript, appscript.terminology >>> appscript.terminology.dump(u'/Applications/FileMaker Pro 12 Advanced/FileMaker Pro Advanced', u'/Users/me/Documents//fmp12a_glueb.py') but the result is still the truncated (useless) dictionary; ASDictionary 0.13.1 also produces the same result is there something i'm missing, or is this workaround not possible in Lion? alternatively, if anyone has created such a terminology dump for FileMaker Pro 12 (Advanced or not, or even version 11), i would be happy to receive a copy thanks

Document-based app
by ecir hana May 7, 2012

May 7, 2012

Dear list, I'm trying to create a simple document-based app in Python and Cocoa. I'm not using PyObjC but another library called "cocoapy" ( http://code.google.com/p/cocoa-python/source/browse/). So far I really like but I ran into one issue. When I write the app in Objective C it works but when I translate it into Python it breaks. I thought it might have something to do with "NSDocumentClass" from Info.plist not being recognized by sharedDocumentController but I'm not sure. Please, would you be so kind and look at the following code, I'm very new into all this so perhaps I'm missing something. # Info.plist <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" " http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>CFBundleDocumentTypes</key> <array> <dict> <key>CFBundleTypeExtensions</key> <array> <string>simple</string> </array> <key>CFBundleTypeName</key> <string>simple</string> <key>CFBundleTypeRole</key> <string>Editor</string> <key>NSDocumentClass</key> <string>SimpleDocument</string> </dict> </array> <key>CFBundleExecutable</key> <string>simple</string> <key>CFBundleName</key> <string>Simple</string> </dict> </plist> # simple # ... some setup from bundlebuilder.py os.execve(executable, sys.argv, os.environ) # simple.py from cocoapy import * class SimpleDocumentImplementation(object): SimpleDocument = ObjCSubclass('NSDocument', 'SimpleDocument') @SimpleDocument.method('@') def init(self): self = ObjCInstance(send_super(self, 'init')) window = initWithContentRect_styleMask_backing_defer(NSMakeRect(100, 100, 480, 320), NSTitledWindowMask, NSBackingStoreBuffered, True) window.makeKeyAndOrderFront_(None) return self if __name__ == '__main__': NSAutoreleasePool = ObjCClass('NSAutoreleasePool') NSApplication = ObjCClass('NSApplication') NSWindow = ObjCClass('NSWindow') NSDocumentController = ObjCClass('NSDocumentController') SimpleDocument = ObjCClass('SimpleDocument') pool = NSAutoreleasePool.alloc().init() app = NSApplication.sharedApplication() controller = NSDocumentController.sharedDocumentController() controller.openUntitledDocumentAndDisplay_error_(True, None) # Here it breaks with "The (null) type doesn't map to any NSDocumentClass." Without it it still wont open the first default window. app.run() I expect it to open one window at start up, this is what the Objectve C app does by default. Here it doesn't show anything and when I try to force open it, it breaks. Thank you for any kind of help! Ecir Hana

Building Python 2.7 with ppc64
by Chris Calderon May 7, 2012

May 7, 2012

Hello All! This is my first time using this mailing list yay! I am having a problem building Python 2.7 for my quad G5 PowerMac, and I was wondering if anyone has any experience doing this? I don't want a 32-bit build, because I have 8 gigs of RAM I want to be able to use. My os is Mac OS x 10.5.8, and I have Xcode 3.1 installed. I tried to build and install like this: ./configure --enable-framework --enable-universalsdk=/ --with-universal-archs=64-bit make make install This installed python, supposedly, but didn't build tkinter or sqlite3, and lots of other stuff didn't build all the way. What should I do to get this to install correctly? are their other libraries I need to install first? Has anyone successfully built python 2.7 for ppc64? Thanks for the help! En medias res

py2app, system Python, and Mac App Store
by Kevin Walzer May 6, 2012

May 6, 2012

My recent difficulties getting a Python app uploaded to the Mac App Store (owing to apparent issues with Apple's uploader, which seems to strip out symlinks in the embedded framework) have prompted me to look at deploying a version of my app linked to the system Python. I've never deployed a semi-standalone app, so I'm not sure what issues to be aware of. How does backward and forward compatibility work? (I'm on Lion.) If I have any extensions that I want wrapped (currently they are in my site-packages dir in /Library/Frameworks/Python), do I need to move them? On a related note, does anyone else have a Python app in the Mac App Store? Have you encountered issues with uploads or approvals? How are you setting up py2app? My recent headaches getting the app uploaded have been a real curveball, because I have had any issues previously. Thanks in advance, Kevin -- Kevin Walzer Code by Kevin http://www.codebykevin.com

(PyQt and py2app) Gui starts in IDLE but not as app ...
by Jonathan Kossick May 4, 2012

May 4, 2012

Hello, my problem is kind of weird. As long as I run my PyQt application in IDLE everything works great but when I build an app by using py2app the gui doesn' t start. I already did a little bit debugging but apparently the application crashes when I want do show the gui (main.show()). The application just stops and there is no useful message ... If i make a really short application which just starts the gui then everything works fine. My application is really big wherefore I dont know where to search the problem first. Why does the problem just appeal if I build the app and not if i start it in IDLE? Where can I start to search the problem? Any ideas? Unfortunately I cant give more informations ...
