[PyKDE] PyQt Applet on Mac

PyQt-Mac is built against Apple's system installation of Python (the one
whose home is /System/Library...). This is the case on both Panther
(10.3) and Tiger (10.4). The separate MacPython installation (2.4.1 is
the latest version) can't see PyQt. I'm thinking about moving to
supporting MacPython when Qt 4 is released, but not until then. If you
want to use PyQt against a non-Apple verison of Python right now, you'll
have to build everything yourself.

If you want to save an applet that sees PyQt, you'll need to save it
against the Apple system installation. You can do this using the
MacPython add-ons for Panther, available at the Pythonmac site (see my
web page for the link at http://www.wordtech-software.com/python.html ).
The MacPython add-ons (which add the PythonIDE and build-applet stuff,
but not Python itself, because they are built against Apple's
installation) should help you in this regard.

|

|
| <applet>/Contents/MacOs/Python
|
| is a binary file generated from the ide containing the system path.
| Overwriting it with the one from my eric applet made things work, as
| that contains the other hierarchy.
|
|
| So the question boils down to: what is that Python file about, and how
| do I alter it's generated contents.
|
| I have to admit that all the (mac)python is somewhat confusing to an old
| linux guy like me - in fact I even have a third lib dir, the usual
| /usr/lib/python2.3/... where my self-compiled extensions like omniorb
live.
|
| Soooo - any advice on this? If it matters: I'm on Mac Os X 10.3.9, mac
| python 2.3.5-1
