You definitely have something that's linking to Python 2.3. Try DYLD_PRINT_LIBRARIES and/or run it under gdb and backtrace to see which init function is failing.
% env DYLD_PRINT_LIBRARIES=1 build/ReSTedit.app/Contents/MacOS/ReSTedit dyld: loaded: /Volumes/Crack/src/WWDC2005/ReSTedit-0/build/ ReSTedit.app/Contents/MacOS/ReSTedit dyld: loaded: /System/Library/Frameworks/Foundation.framework/ Versions/C/Foundation dyld: loaded: /System/Library/Frameworks/AppKit.framework/Versions/C/ AppKit dyld: loaded: /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib, cpu-sub-type: 0 dyld: loaded: /usr/lib/libxml2.2.dylib ... and so on (eventually you'll start seeing extensions) The callstack under gdb will look like this: #0 0x0026eae0 in init_objc () #1 0x100a8d54 in _PyImport_LoadDynamicModule (name=0xbfffb8e0 "objc._objc", pathname=0xbfffb3e0 "/Users/bob/src/pyobjc/build/ lib.darwin-8.1.0-Power_Macintosh-2.4/objc/_objc.so", fp=0x0) at / Users/bob/src/Python-2.4.1/Python/importdl.c:53 #2 0x100a4e18 in load_module (name=0xbfffb8e0 "objc._objc", fp=0xa000ddf4, buf=0xbfffb3e0 "/Users/bob/src/pyobjc/build/ lib.darwin-8.1.0-Power_Macintosh-2.4/objc/_objc.so", type=0, loader=0x0) at /Users/bob/src/Python-2.4.1/Python/import.c:1665 ..... All the init functions are named simply init with the name of the extension appended (in this case the extension is named _objc).. so you can future-break on them. otool -L on any extension file will tell you what it's linked to.. py2app ships with a tool called macho_find which will find all of the Mach-O files in a folder... uh, here's a script that should help you find the culprit: #!/usr/local/bin/python2.4 """ Usage: linksto.py /System/Library/Frameworks/AppKit.framework/AppKit build """ from macholib.MachOGraph import MachOGraph from macholib.util import iter_platform_files def linksto(target, searchpath): g = MachOGraph() for path in iter_platform_files(searchpath): g.run_file(path) return set( g.graph.edges[edge_ident][0] for edge_ident in g.graph.inc_edges(g.findNode(target).graphident) ) if __name__ == '__main__': import sys, os try: for path in sorted(linksto(*map(os.path.realpath, sys.argv [1:]))): print path except TypeError: raise SystemExit, __doc__.strip() ... % python linksto.py /System/Library/Frameworks/AppKit.framework/ AppKit build /System/Library/Frameworks/Cocoa.framework/Versions/A/Cocoa /Volumes/Crack/src/WWDC2005/ReSTedit-0/build/ReSTedit.app/Contents/ MacOS/ReSTedit /Volumes/Crack/src/WWDC2005/ReSTedit-0/build/ReSTedit.app/Contents/ Resources/Python/lib-dynload/AppKit/_AppKit.so /Volumes/Crack/src/WWDC2005/ReSTedit-0/build/ReSTedit.app/Contents/ Resources/ReSTeditPlugIn.bundle/Contents/MacOS/ReSTeditPlugIn /Volumes/Crack/src/WWDC2005/ReSTedit-0/build/ReSTeditPlugIn.bundle/ Contents/MacOS/ReSTeditPlugIn You'd use it largely the same way, except with Python.framework/ Python instead of AppKit.framework/AppKit -bob On May 25, 2005, at 9:48 PM, Kent Quirk wrote: > Sadly, that was one of the first things we tried.
