When a new project is created, XCode takes the user name and pre-fills the headers of the source files. In Python projects, this creates a problem if the user's name has non ascii characters (like accents). The problem is that the application builds and fails with these messages like the ones below in the console. 11/18/07 12:10:36 AM kkpycd[33468] *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: '/Users/jcmendez/kkpycd/main.m:44 main() PyRun_SimpleFile failed with file '/Users/jcmendez/kkpycd/build/Release/kkpycd.app/Contents/Resources/main.py'. See console for errors.' 11/18/07 12:10:36 AM kkpycd[33468] Stack: ( 2490802795, 2487529627, 2490802251, 2490802314 ) Tracking the problem it's possible to see that: 11/18/07 12:11:11 AM [0x0-0xb40b4].com.yourcompany.kkpy2[95313] SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character '\x8e' in file /Users/jcmendez/kkpy2/build/Release/kkpy2.app/Contents/Resources/kkpy2AppDelegate.py on line 5, but no encoding declared; see http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0263.html for details Not a big deal, but may deter many Python folks from writing Cocoa apps. Already filed a bug report with Apple, but thought it may be interesting to post in this list as well. Juan C.
