[Pythonmac-SIG] UpArrow for previous command
On my old imac when working interactively with python in 'Terminal' I could get previous commands by hitting up arrow (or down arrow). I can't remember how I set that up and I have been unable to get the same feature on my newer iMac g5. Have searched message archives without success. Hitting uparrow just prints ^[[A which makes a mess you have to delete. Would appreciate some help.

[Pythonmac-SIG] Help with path settings
I'm having trouble with PYTHONPATH .. george-g5:~ georgewright$ env TERM_PROGRAM=Apple_Terminal ...

PYTHONPATH =/usr/local/Zope-3.3.0/lib/python I want to change this to PYTHONPATH='' I can't find where I set it to the current value. I know I set it that way some months ago so I could do zope things in interactive python - but I don't recall how! I have changed .bash_profile to what I want and searched for .pth files that might help but to no avail. I have changed .profile too Also the PATH=... :/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/ Versions/Current/bin/ points to a 2.3 installation and I want to change that to ... / Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/ and I don't know how to do it. (I actually get python 2.4 when I start it in terminal!) Can anyone help me sort out this mess?

I guess you are running Tiger because your system Python is 2.3. Yes 10.4.11 I guess I should leave the python 2.3 where it is There are quite a lot of places where environment variables can be set. E.g. ~/.profile ~/.bashrc ~/.login ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login, ~/.cshrc ~/.tcshrc /etc/csh.cshrc /etc/csh.login /etc/profile /etc/bashrc ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist Well this is a very helpful list. First time I've seen them all at once. Are there any more? Turns out that /etc/profile actually listened to my request to: export PYTHONPATH='' where the others just ignored it. In addition I found that it was in: ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist where I had set PYTHONPATH to /usr/local/Zope-3.3.0/lib/python and then forgot I had done it! Now I have removed that. Anyhow it seems to have done the trick. So many thanks. I will flag your email in case I forget again.

[Pythonmac-SIG] virtualenv problems
Gidday again I am having trouble getting a virtualenv to use the python version I want on my OSX 10.5.4. • I have installed Python 2.5.2 and used ~/.bash_profile to export PATH so that this one comes up when I type python at the shell prompt. (I haven't made a ~/.profile entry. I wonder if that would help?) • I have installed the latest "virtualenv" • When I create a virtualenv from the command line like this: $ virtualenv ENV that works but the python available after activating is the OSX installed global version 2.5.1 and not the 2.5.2 I hoped for. ?? • The virtualenv docs suggest you can call it like this: $ python virtualenv.py ENV Which might ensure that 252 came up - But I get this error message: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/Resources/Python.app/ Contents/MacOS/Python: can't open file 'virtualenv.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory AND I can't find a virtualenv.py anywhere • The docs (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/virtualenv#id2) suggest that one can 'name a python' but there is no indication as to how that is done. • I have tried the no_site-packages option too. Any suggestions? George Wright ___ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig

Well yes Joe - all runs well from demo.py. Some run well called on their own. Slider.py and Sound.py for example. But not the SizedControls.py example.

Re: [Pythonmac-SIG] Shortcut for IDLE on Mac OS X (LEOPARD)
Gregor
Here's one way to do it. My example is for python2.5 not python3.::
Create a shell script that will do the job for you. I've called mine
"startidle".
Make it executable: chmod +x startidle
Test from Terminal that it works.
Open AppleScript Editor application and create a new script called
"startIdle.scpt" with the following text::
--
-- A script to call and run the shell script "startIdle"
-- Both this script and the shell script should be in the
"AppleScriptsFolder" within
-- the "mypythonstuff" folder in the home folder.
-- George Wright
-- 8th Oct 2009
-- georg...@bigpond.net.au
set myIdle to POSIX path of file ((path to home folder as string) &
("mypythonstuff:" & "AppleScriptsFolder:" & "startidle"))
set g to (do shell script myIdle)
-- For discussion on calling shell scripts from AppleScript see my
article
-- http://www.labyrinth.net.au/~gwright/GetAgrepOnAppleScript.html
--
Click the Run button in AppleScript Editor to test that works. Save
as "startIdle.scpt"
Lastly after you are satisfied that it all works OK save "startIdle"
again as an application
"startIdle.app" and drag that or an alias of it (Command + L ) to the
desktop.
Double click to start.
Hope that helps

Hi,
I'm relatively new to the Mac.
I have a Python 3.1.1. installation on my Macbook
and I'd like to have a shortcut on my desktop starting
IDLE with the -n switch, that is without subprocess
Under Windows I'd rightclick on the desktop, create a
new shortcut and then enter as the target:
C:\Python31\pythonw C:\Python31\Lib\idlelib\idle.pyw -n
Then I have to give it a name and it's ready. (Additionally
I have the option to change the icon)
Is there a similar and similarly simple way to do this
with Mac OS X? (Leopard)
I am able to start IDLE in this mode from a terminal,
but thats rather cumbersome
python3 /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.1/lib/
python3.1/idlelib/idle.py -n
So Id' like to automate it. (I observed, that the IDLE entry in the
program folder
is not a simple shortcut, so I couldn't find a way to edit an alias
of it, in order
to add the -n option.)
Thanks in advance for some cool hints
