Back in December last year, I was building a PyObjC application that embedded numpy (scipy_core at the time), scipy and matplotlib. I ran into a few issues doing so, some of which were resolved. One was the inability for scipy to run from a zipped site-packages. I worked around this by expanding the embedded site-packages.zip into a site- packages directory in the same location. For reference, the thread can be found at: http://www.scipy.net/pipermail/scipy-dev/2005-December/004551.html
Come a few months later, I have needed to update to the latest version of numpy (and therefore scipy and matplotlib). I have not yet updated to the universal build of Python, still running 2.4.1, although I will do so if it is known to fix any issues. (I don't have too much time at the moment, and building the latest versions of numpy and matplotlib for a universal build scares me). I managed to get it working again, which required: 1) Setting packages=['matplotlib','numpy'] in setup.py's options for py2app. 2) Modifying the py2app/apptemplate/lib/site.py file to include 'sys.path.append(_parent + '/site-packages')' before the same line with .zip appended to the file name. 3) Adding setup_options['options']['py2app']['includes'].extend (['pytz.zoneinfo.UTC']) to the setup.py, this is required by matplotlib. I believe (2) is a bug in py2app (I am running 0.3.1). Packages included using 'packages=' are not added to site-packages.zip, but rather are in their own site-packages directory. I am not sure whether this is the intended behaviour or a bug, but it is good for me, since numpy and matplotlib won't run when compressed. Now, it seems I am doomed to continue to have to find work-arounds to get numpy and matplotlib working in a standalone .app. Is there a chance we can come up with a py2app recipe for numpy, matplotlib and scipy? What other alternatives are there? Regards, Josh ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
