Or, does it?
It should. There is a demo on how to bundle, using "pygtk-demo" app ? It includes a new Python installation, rather than using system Python. If there's something wrong with it (gtk-mac-bundler, nee ige-mac-bundler), you should report those bugs to the gtk-osx tracker and mailing list... http://git.gnome.org/browse/gtk-mac-bundler https://live.gnome.org/GTK%2B/OSX/Bundling >> The stand-alone installation was for just using PyGTK without having >> to build and bundle it, similar to using it on Windows (or Linux) ? >> So there were no important differences or patches done, and all the >> development on GTK+ 3, or Integration, or whatever, happens elsewhere. >> >> But if it's just that linker issue that is stopping you from using >> the all-in-one bundle, it would be possible to do a relocatable one... >> (one does have to patch a few other packages, to not hardcode paths) >> I could take a look at it, after transitioning to the new project*. > > Will you be able to take a look if I upload the source code? I'm surely doing > something wrong. :( There is nothing wrong, just that the package I did does NOT support relocation but has /opt/gtk hardcoded in the code and in the linkage. And on second thought, I don't think it's all that useful to add it... If you want to bundle Python/PyGTK, you can use the gtk-mac-bundler ? But I've added the extra flag (-headerpad_max_install_names) to LDFLAGS, so if I do rebuild it (for whatever reason) it will be relocatable then. And added the "binary relocation" support to pkg-config and to gtk+, so that it will allow relocation - just like it did on Win32* already... * http://developer.gnome.org/glib/2.28/glib-Windows-Compatibility-Functions.html#g-win32-get-package-installation-directory-of-module The main problem is that it uses the executable, not the gtk library! So it still fails for an uninstalled app using a system installation. http://bugzilla-attachments.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=199026 >> * The PyGTK.pkg got relocated to: http://macpkg.sourceforge.net/ >> It also got upgraded from 2.22 to 2.24, and had Lion support added. >> That is, it supports 32-bit and 64-bit Python 2.5, 2.6 and 2.7 on >> Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard and above - but it is (not yet?) relocatable. > > I'm planning to start clean with gtk-osx.

If you really want to clean up the (harmless) redirection links too, you also need to remove any / all of the following six .pth files: /Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/gtkredirect.pth /Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/gtkredirect.pth /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/gtkredirect.pth /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/gtkredirect.pth /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/site-packages/gtkredirect.pth /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gtkredirect.pth Those are just one-liners, so deleting them is more for removing that extra /opt/gtk/lib/python2.?/site-packages from PYTHONPATH... There are two locations, one for /usr/bin/python2.? and one for /usr/local/bin/python2.? (from http://python.org) if using that. --anders _______________________________________________ pygtk mailing list pygtk@daa.com.au http://www.daa.com.au/mailman/listinfo/pygtk Read the PyGTK FAQ: http://faq.pygtk.org/
