Hey there. (1) My employer forces me to work on a MAC, that's a new OS to me. So excuse me if these questions are stupid. (10.6.8)
(2) I have eclipse, and want to run Python in it. I followed the steps installing PyDev, no problemo. Now I have to setup the path where the interpreter is in. And I can't find it. I found 10.000 topics on the net for this problem, but none solved my issues. (3) Most of the topics say check /libraries/Python. In this folder I have 3 subfolders, called 2.3, 2.5 and 2.6. These folders contain identical things: a folder called "site-packages", which contains a readme, which contains ("This directory exists so that 3rd party packages can be installed here. Read the source for site.py for more details.") Nothing else. The PyDev stuff is apparently in my /repast-simphony/eclipse/plugins folder (in this folder are 5 subfolders called PyDev 2.2.1 etc blablabla and then debug/fastparser/analysis etc.) Ok. So how do I find where my Python actually is? I tried --> python -c "from distutils.sysconfig import get_python_lib; print get_python_lib()" which tells me --> /Library/Python/2.6/site-packages But that is empty. In /system/frameworks there is one. That one looks interesting. But no matter if I choose "Python" (alias, no idea what that means on mac, but it looks like an executable file) in the main folder, or the other Pythons in subfolders (e.g. versions/2.6 or versions/current), I receive an unspecific error which is kind enough to tell me that common problems are using an unsupported version or specifying an invalid interpreter. python -c "import sys; print sys.executable" ... points to the folder /usr/bin/python. (there are also other ones like python 2.6 in that folder) In eclipse now I enter this path as interpreter, like that: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/35594260/Bildsc ... .18.31.png I get this message dialog afterwards (I don't understand this, because this is EXACTLY the dialog that appears if I do not enter the path manually "new ->", like above, but when I hit "auto config): http://dl.dropbox.com/u/35594260/Bildsc ... .18.38.png When I click OK, this error message pops up: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/35594260/Bildsc ... .18.44.png I honestly have no idea what to do. Please help.
