It uses a combination of Twisted and wxPython and is rather large, so I don't know where this comes from, it could be wx, twisted or the two together. It's probably not wx -- it is used a fair bit on Macs. I don't know how much Twisted is used on the Mac. It might be worth asking on a Twisted list. Also, have you tried just a simple Twisted app on its own? And yes, I suppose the two together could be an issue. Yes actually, it was the two together. I used something someone had told me about a some time ago, that is to use the wx eventloop as the main eventloop and have twisted's run in a separate thread, it now works fine on Mac. I'm still working on the pz2app part though, I'll kep everyone updated. Gabriel Oh, and do you have these problems running without py2app? Popen could not find my files when using py2app, This should be a simple path issue -- a few judicious print statements should help here. even though they were in the same directory as the main exec. I even tried putting the execs in the resource dir but no luck, hmm -- I think that is indeed where the working dir is set by py2app when starting op. try: print os.getcwd() you can look in the Console app to see stuff printed to stdout. -Chris ___ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig

[Pythonmac-SIG] Mac OS-X 10.5 and two icons bouncing in the dock problem
Hi, attached PyQt script demonstrates an ugly issue, I'm desperately fighting with since a couple of days :-(. Issue: when starting the app via double click or single click on dock icon or dropping a plain/text file on dock or application icon, all actions lead to two bouncing icons. The one with the blue spot is the good one, that stops bouncing after start-up. The bad one will stop bouncing eventually, and shows Application not responding in its context menu then. As long as the bad one exists, dropping files on the good one will be ignored. After killing (and sometimes removing from the dock is necessary) all is well - one can drop files one the good one and on the app icon, all behaves well, up to the point of being terminated, then this ugly game starts again. The issue is not depending on the arch, but on OS-X 10.5. It does not happen with 10.4. It may be related to pyinstaller, but since I need to deploy the app on arbitrary 10.4 and later systems, omitting it is not an option. Pre conditions: OS-X 10.5(.7/.8) with ppc or x86 arch Xcode 3.1.3 Python-2.6.2 Qt-4.5.2 sip-4.8.2 PyQt-4.5.4 Build it this way: tar xvzf launchprob.tar.gz cd launchprob ./build.sh -debug This command will fetch pyinstaller's SVN trunk, build pyinstaller, generate the app itself: LaunchProb.app. It can be moved to any system, as long as all required packages are cleanly built for both archs(*) and the minimum OS-X release is 10.4. Any ideas how to solve this issue are greatly appreciated. Thanks, Pete (*) I can provide more details for this on request launchprob.tar.gz Description: application/tgz ___ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
Re: [Pythonmac-SIG] Mac OS-X 10.5 and two icons bouncing in the dock problem
I guess the question is, why two dock icons? I'm seeing something perhaps similar; I have a Python-Cocoa app that when started will cause one of those pop-up windows, App quit unexpectedly, do you want to submit a bug report to Apple, and the crash report shows that a multi-threaded program crashed in thread 0 with SEGV attempting to access location 0. But the app seems to be running, just fine. When I poked at it a bit more, it looks like using open or double-click to launch the app somehow causes two instances to start (fork, somewhere?), and one of them is bad. This is with Xcode 3.1.3 and OS X 10.5, but no Qt, no Python-2.6.2. Bill ___ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig

Yes, it does (after fixing a few bugs, that prevented it from being really bi arch aka. universal build).

Re: [Pythonmac-SIG] Mac OS-X 10.5 and two icons bouncing in the dock problem
Anything having to do with Finder or the Dock (or Activity Monitor, for that matter) seems to be somewhat over-simplified and mysterious. Not responding, in Activity Monitor, for instance, seems to be due to an undocumented window server probe of processes marked somehow as applications, for which Python has no built-in support. I find Thread Viewer helpful in looking at programs. But even better is to build your own version of the system Python (2.5.1) with debugging symbols, and use that instead of /usr/bin/python (or, of course, you could use a different version of Python entirely). Then you can point gdb at that running application, and using the Python gdb macros, http://wiki.python.org/moin/DebuggingWithGdb, you can see exactly what's going on in all the threads. I don't use pyinstaller, either. I just build a standard OS X install bundle by hand, and then as I develop just change the contents of of the Resource subdirectory.
