Would someone please disable python scripting on OSX builds so we can provide nightly builds until we can find a solution for the python issue.

I'm sorry you feel this way but this has nothing to do with OSX being second class and every thing to do with the simple fact that there are far more windows and linux devs so things tend to get fixed faster on those platforms. Your comments doe nothing to encourage the few OSX devs that we do have. Perhaps a better way to motivate them would be to thank them for their efforts. > > Just my $0.02, > Jean-Paul > N1JPL > > > >> On Mar 16, 2017, at 2:06 PM, Bernhard Stegmaier <[email protected]> >> wrote: >> >> I have just seen people on the forum complaining that OSX nightlies still >> don’t build. >> >> @Simon: >> Do you intend to push your changes, no matter how hackish? >> Might at least be a start to work with. >> >> Or, just disable python scripting at all until the whole python bundling has >> been sorted out? >> Having no python scripting is better than having no build or a build where >> it doesn’t work right... >> >> >> Regards, >> Bernhard >> >>> On 21 Feb 2017, at 18:56, Simon Wells <[email protected]> wrote: >>> >>> I have previously sent a patch to adam for testing that bundled >>> python. but it was a bit hackish as since python is a system lib >>> bundleutilies doesn't copy it. >>> >>> On 21 February 2017 at 21:28, Bernhard Stegmaier >>> <[email protected]> wrote: >>>> >>>> On 21 Feb 2017, at 00:31, Wayne Stambaugh <[email protected]> wrote: >>>> >>>> On 2/20/2017 6:27 PM, Nick Østergaard wrote: >>>> >>>> 2017-02-20 23:48 GMT+01:00 Bernhard Stegmaier <[email protected]>: >>>> >>>> How is this done on Windows? >>>> You also don’t have a global filesystem with one Python there where you >>>> just >>>> copy it into the right place… where does the Windows installer put those >>>> files and how do you use them from some installed Python?
