Hi William,
I just installed you new mapserver 5.2.0-2.dmg to test out python
mapscript.
I get an inconv error which is odd. Any ideas?
springmeyer:~ spring$ python
Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Jan 17 2008, 19:35:17)
[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5465)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import mapscript
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/mapscript.py", line 7, in
<module>
import _mapscript
ImportError: dlopen(/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/_mapscript.so,

Thanks,

I finally figured out a longstanding problem with my OSX binaries -
python mapscript wasn't working.
The problem comes from FastCGI support for the mapserv CGI. When
python tries to import mapscript, you get an error about libfcgi not
finding the _environ symbol (from apache?). Since I build MapServer
with a dynamic library (framework) I can't use a separate library
for mapserv and mapscript.
I tried moving cgi stuff from the library into mapserv, but I think
CGI functions are needed elsewhere also, or I just didn't go far
enough, and I couldn't get it to work.
So, given this, and the recent discussion saying that fastcgi only
provides a tiny performance gain, I removed fastcgi from my OSX
binaries. (fastcgi is also a lot more complex to setup on OSX
compared to standard CGI and the various mapscripts.)
And python mapscript now works on OSX!
