After a lot of poking around, it appears that platform.mac_ver() is broken in 10.6 (Snow Leopard) because the gestalt module calls fork(), which causes a crash with USING_FORK_WITHOUT_EXEC_IS_NOT_SUPPORTED_BY_FILE_MANAGER. This seems to only happen with py2app builds; I have not been able to reproduce using strict command-line testing, and I haven't had time to create a stripped-down app to test with.
I'd appreciate if someone else could verify before I file a bug. (It's possible that the multiprocessing module is involved if a simple test fails to reproduce -- my AppDelegate starts another process for the main code that then calls mac_ver() to log the current OS version.) I'm using os.uname() instead for now. -- Aahz (a...@pythoncraft.com) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ "If you think it's expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait until you hire an amateur." --Red Adair _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
