[Pythonmac-SIG] Hello World Cross Platform Problems

[Ken Mankoff]

OK I got the "Hello World" developed on 10.5 intel working on 10.4 
PPC.

Stubborn unixy-ness and a desire to keep things clean and separate 
so I can easily clean it out when bugs (like this) pop up and 
upgrade and use different versions and replicate on other machines 
etc.

That was from "easy_install macholib==dev"

But you are correct it was a firewall issue. It worked when I used a 
different network. I then ran "py2applet hello.py" (not even using 
py2app and setup.py directly) and it built the .app without 
complaining. Well, there is an awful lot of output, so I might have 
missed a complaint, but I think it built it fine. I moved it to a 
different machine, double-clicked, and it printed "hello world" to 
the Console.

So I now have Python and py2app working. I'll build and add 
wxWidgets code and see if it continues to work.


In summary, the macholib that ships with Python (or is it py2app?) 
seems to have a bug that you identified in a previous email and 
fetching the latest dev version (via easy_install) solves it.


Thanks for your help. I am pretty sure I'll be back for more.

    -k.
