py2app + setuptools-0.6a9 = *poof*
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello all, My apologies in advance if this has already been covered, but I am very confused by the interaction between py2app and setuptools. I have installed Universal-MacPython-2.4.3 from <http://python.org/ download/releases/2.4.3/> (I have an Intel-based Mac) and built py2app 0.2.0 from source:
$ export PATH="/usr/local/bin:${PATH}" $ svco http://svn.red-bean.com/bob/py2app/releases/py2app-0.2.0 ... $ cd py2app-0.2.0 $ python setup.py bdist_mpkg --open ...
Now when I download ClientForm from <http://wwwsearch.sourceforge.net/ ClientForm/> and try to build it using py2app, I get the following:
$ tar xpvf ClientForm-0.2.2.tar.gz $ cd ClientForm-0.2.2 $ bdist_mpkg
---------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- This script requires setuptools version 0.6a9 to run (even to display help). I will attempt to download it for you (from http://cheeseshop.python.org/packages/2.4/s/setuptools/), but you may need to enable firewall access for this script first. I will start the download in 15 seconds. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- Downloading http://cheeseshop.python.org/packages/2.4/s/setuptools/ setuptools-0.6a9-py2.4.egg Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/bin/bdist_mpkg", line 3, in ? main() File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/ python2.4/site-packages/py2app/bdist_mpkg/scripts/ script_bdist_mpkg.py", line 24, in main execfile(sys.argv[0], g, g) File "setup.py", line 88, in ? ez_setup.use_setuptools() File "/Users/matt/Desktop/macpython/orig/ClientForm-0.2.2/ ez_setup/__init__.py", line 84, in use_setuptools import setuptools; setuptools.bootstrap_install_from = egg File "/Users/matt/Desktop/macpython/orig/ClientForm-0.2.2/ setuptools-0.6a9-py2.4.egg/setuptools/__init__.py", line 3, in ?

I'm now at a total loss. Is there any advice anyone can give me on now to get this to work (besides "don't use (py2app|ClientForm)")?

Whenever setuptools is used with a tool (such as py2exe or py2app), setuptools must be imported first. In your specific situation, you should first install the latest version of setuptools, then replace your existing setup command with: python -c "import setuptools; execfile('setup.py')" stuff where "stuff" is whatever you would have put after "python setup.py" on the command line. This is the easiest way to force setuptools to be imported first, before anything else has a chance to attach itself to the distutils. This still doesn't guarantee success, since it's possible for other programs to monkeypatch the distutils in ways that break setuptools. But it should at least move you forward another step.

They're more or less completely incompatible at this point. py2app 0.2.x has no idea what setuptools is, the next major version will be dependent on setuptools (and probably also Python 2.4). -bob

Not to sound irreverent or impatient, but do you have any idea when the next major version will be available? (I understand that putting food on the table takes precedence.) --Matt -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (Darwin) iD8DBQFEPU3VnLpDzL5I7l8RAvAGAJ9M0msWe0x6IQE3zb1Jp0hY3m/izgCfShpX xIsXhuH/uCn8FaV0hbikzzs= =o6ja -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

It'll be available when I get around to it.. which is some completely indeterminate amount of time. I'm not currently working on anything related to Mac OS X specifically at this time, so I'm not in a hurry. For the most part, eggs are a better solution than bdist_mpkg anyway (except for peripheral stuff like docs, applications, and examples). When I do get around to working on py2app's next major version, my focus will be to support the building of applications. bdist_mpkg is mostly obsolete in a setuptools world. -bob
